Malaga and Real Sociedad Prediction

Stats indicate that both teams have a solid number of goals scored more in the first half, so if they set off with an open, entertaining game we should be able to see a couple of goals in the first halftime. Betting experts aren't agreeing that there'll be more in the second halftime, but there'll be few serious chances for a goal on each side. If there isn't any surprise in the late period, the game will end as a draw.

Correct score: 1-1

The prediction for this game is a fast-paced football in the first half and a slower, tactical-wise football in the second.

Both teams will earn a point, enough for a mid-range duel.
