* Malaga have failed to overcome Real Sociedad in their last nine away matches.
* Malaga, bottom of the table, have scored at least six more goals than the eight teams directly above them in La Liga.
* If La Liga was decided on away-form only, they would currently be ninth in the table instead of rock-bottom.
* Real Sociedad haven’t been beaten in their last four league games at home.
* Sociedad have lost just one of their last nine matches at home to the Malaga in La Liga.
LAST MEETING
October 31, 2010: Malaga 1-2 Real Sociedad
The lethal combination of Antoine Griezmann and Llorente was enough to see off Malaga the last time these two teams met. Malaga put in another poor performance at home to a rival team with Juanmi managing to get on the score sheet late on. However, it was too little too late yet again for the Andalusian side.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Real Sociedad: Bravo; Estrada, Demidov, Ansotegi, Gonzalez; Rivas, Illarramendi, Prieto, Zurutuza, Griezmann; Agirretxe
Malaga: Caballerom; Gamez, Demichelis, Weligton , Eliseu; Apono, Recio, Owusu-Abeyie, Maresca, Fernandez; Rondon
Prediction
Manuel Pellegrini is an excellent coach in my opinion, and I fancy El Ingeniero to lead Malaga to a priceless away win this weekend against the odds with Real Sociedad unbeaten at home in their last four league games.
Real Sociedad 1-2 Malaga
