Struggling Malaga welcome Real Sociedad this weekend in the Spanish La Liga hoping to finally secure their first win. With eight games played so far, Malaga sit bottom of the standings, more than 10 points behind their sixth-placed visitors. As Malaga struggle to find their footing, our prediction backs an away win.
Malaga are having a difficult time back in the topflight. Francisco Funes’ men are the only team yet to win a match, and with this form, they could be headed right back down.
Los Albicelestes have managed to earn just four points. Their most recent point came last time out as they played out a 1-1 draw against Espanyol. Malaga have earned three of their four points at home.
Real Sociedad are doing much better than their hosts and come into this match as favourites to win. La Real have won four matches and sit on 13 points, five adrift of the Champions League places.
Sociedad, who haven’t lost in three outings, were in European action in midweek and did just enough to avoid defeat. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men earned their first point in the Europa League after a 1-1 draw against USG.
That outcome made it three away matches without a loss for the visitors.

Our Málaga vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Our prediction for Malaga v Real Sociedad is that Real Sociedad wins. These two are having contrasting campaigns in La Liga meet in this fixture. Malaga have been the worst team in Spain so far and sit bottom of the table without a single victory.
Their visitors, on the other hand, sit in the European places and have won half of their assignments. They are also one of the top attacking teams in La Liga, and facing the team with one of the weakest defence lines gives them the edge.
