Our read before the game
Two defensively short sides meet at La Rosaleda, goals look likelier than a clean sheet
Malaga are winless in five and missing a centre-back, while Real Sociedad carry a genuine defensive injury crisis of their own, Odriozola and Munoz both out long-term. That points to goals at both ends rather than a comfortable home certainty, and makes Malaga's draw-no-bet a riskier backing than the form table alone suggests.
