Real Betis
Real Betis welcome bottom club Malaga to the Estadio Olimpico de Sevilla on Saturday evening (5.30pm UK time), and our Real Betis vs Malaga predictions and betting tips lean on the hosts against the only team yet to win in La Liga this season.
Betis have made their own ground a fortress and face a Malaga side that has struggled badly since promotion, so the home team look well placed to climb the table.
Anthony Eadson has gone through the odds and settled on two selections, with the full reasoning further down the page.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has been through the Real Betis vs Malaga odds and landed on the two selections below.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Real Betis to win to nil | 6/4 (Sky Bet) | Real Betis look well set to take care of a Malaga side that simply has not clicked this season. Betis have won four of their five home games and kept five clean sheets across the campaign, so defensive solidity in front of their own fans is nothing new. Malaga, by contrast, are the only team in La Liga yet to win, have scored just twice in five away games and have failed to score in four matches overall. Betis also won all four of the sides’ most recent league meetings, conceding just twice. At 6/4 with Sky Bet, the hosts to win without reply makes plenty of sense. |
| Real Betis 1-0 Malaga | 8/1 (Sky Bet) | Three of Real Betis’ four home league wins this season have finished 1-0, against Real Sociedad, Real Madrid and Getafe. Malaga have scored only twice in five away games and failed to score in four of their 10 league matches, while Betis have kept five clean sheets. The hosts are clear favourites, but the margins at the Estadio Olimpico de Sevilla have often been tight. Sky Bet’s 8/1 on a 1-0 home win is a big price for the most common Betis home scoreline. |

How Real Betis go into the game
Real Betis go into this one fourth in La Liga on 20 points, with six wins, two draws and two defeats from their opening 10 games. They have been miserly too, keeping five clean sheets, and only once have they failed to score all season.
Home form is the foundation here: Betis have won four of their five matches at the Estadio Olimpico de Sevilla, scoring 10 and conceding seven. Their last league outing was a 0-0 draw away at Celta de Vigo, a result that followed a heavy 5-2 home defeat to Barcelona and a 5-2 win over Osasuna.
How Malaga go into the game
Malaga arrive rock bottom of La Liga, the division’s only side still without a win after 10 games. The newly promoted club have drawn five and lost five, scoring just seven goals and shipping 19, and they have kept only one clean sheet.
The road has been especially unkind: Malaga have taken just two points from five away trips, scoring only twice and losing three times on their travels. They come here off a 1-1 draw at Deportivo Alaves, having been beaten 5-2 at home by Real Sociedad and held 1-1 by Espanyol before that.
