👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

After careful analysis of Málaga and Villarreal, we predict that the match will go over 2.5 goals. This means the two teams are likely to score 3 or more goals combined.

The two attacks have been playing quite well of late, which is why we feel this is the best bet for this upcoming match.

👉 Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Málaga vs Villarreal figures to be a very up-and-down match between two aggressive sides, so the corners market is quite an attractive one to bet on.

And with odds of 1.77, we are eyeing the over 9.5 corners bet to hit, which means having 10 or more corners for both teams throughout the 90 minutes will win the bet.
