Malaga host Racing de Santander at La Rosaleda on Saturday 7 November, a 1.00pm (UK time) kick-off in La Liga between two sides scrapping around the bottom of the table.
Bottom of the table, Malaga are the only team in the division still without a win, while Racing de Santander arrive six points better off in 16th. We have worked through the Malaga vs Racing de Santander odds for our best bets, two premium picks and a score prediction below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has run the rule over the Malaga vs Racing de Santander odds and leans towards a cagey afternoon, with little to choose between two of the division’s most fragile sides.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Adrian Nino to score anytime | 29/20 (Ladbrokes) | Adrian Nino has scored five of Malaga’s eight league goals and started up front in the 2-1 defeat at Real Betis last weekend. Racing de Santander have lost all five of their away games, conceding 18 goals on the road. They are also yet to keep a clean sheet in 11 league games. Malaga are struggling, but almost everything good they do goes through their striker. At 29/20 with Ladbrokes, Nino is the most reliable way to back a home goal. |
| Draw | 13/5 (Coral) | Malaga are the only side in La Liga yet to win, but five of their 11 games have finished level, including three of their five at La Rosaleda. Racing have scored in seven of their 11 games and Malaga have kept just one clean sheet. Goals at both ends look likely, without either side pulling clear. Our prediction is a 1-1 draw, and the draw at 13/5 with Coral is the value way to play it. |

How Malaga go into the game
Malaga are rooted to the bottom of La Liga, 20th on five points and the only side in the division still searching for a first win. They have managed just two points from their last five outings, both of them draws. Last time out they were beaten 2-1 at Real Betis, a result that followed a 1-1 draw at Deportivo Alaves.
Before that came a heavy 5-2 home loss to Real Sociedad, a 1-1 home draw with Espanyol and a 1-0 defeat at Getafe. At La Rosaleda, Malaga have drawn three and lost two of their five games without a victory. They have also scored only eight goals all season, the joint-fewest in the division. Adrian Nino is the main source of those, the striker having five to his name.
How Racing de Santander go into the game
Racing de Santander are 16th on 11 points, six clear of Saturday’s hosts, but they travel in poor form and with a wretched away record. They were hammered 0-3 at home by Real Madrid last time out. That chastening afternoon came hard on the heels of a 2-1 home win over Espanyol.
Earlier in that run came a 2-0 defeat at Osasuna, a 2-2 home draw with Valencia and a 5-0 thrashing at Celta de Vigo. The road form is the real concern, with Racing losing all five of their away games this season. They have scored four and conceded 18 on their travels. Yassir Zabiri has carried the attack almost on his own with eight goals.
Malaga vs Racing de Santander head-to-head
These two have no recent La Liga history to draw on, with Malaga and Racing de Santander having spent recent seasons apart in the Spanish pyramid. There are no previous meetings in our records to lean on, so we judge this one on current form alone. That points firmly towards a close, nervy contest between two sides short on confidence.
Malaga vs Racing de Santander predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draw | 13/5 (Coral) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Malaga are the only side in La Liga yet to win but have drawn three of their five home games, while Racing have lost all five on the road. |
| Both teams to score – Yes | 8/15 (Ladbrokes) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Clean sheets are a rarity for both, with Malaga keeping just one in 11 games and Racing yet to manage any at all. |
| Under 2.5 goals | 6/5 (Betway) | ⭐⭐ | Malaga have scored only eight goals in 11 games and failed to find the net in four of them. |
| Malaga 1-1 Racing de Santander | 6/1 (Spreadex) | ⭐⭐ | Malaga have drawn three of their five home games and managed just five goals in them. |
Malaga vs Racing de Santander score prediction
There is little to inspire confidence in either side here, but the shape of the game points to a draw. Malaga remain winless yet are hard to beat at La Rosaleda, where they have lost only twice and taken a point from three of their five games. Racing de Santander have the better overall record. Away from home, however, they have lost every game and leaked 18 goals. With both defences prone to errors and neither attack in any sort of groove, we are siding with honours even in a low-key contest. Score prediction: Malaga 1-1 Racing de Santander.
