Atletico Madrid vs Malaga Tips & Live Stream – Home Win & BTTS in La Liga
Malaga has shown impressive attacking prowess, scoring 12 goals in five pre-season friendlies against reputable teams. This strong pre-season form suggests that Malaga is likely to score when they play in Madrid, but expert opinion suggests it might only be a consolation goal. The team’s attacking potential remains promising, yet expectations should be tempered regarding their overall outcome against Madrid.

On paper, Atletico Madrid should be a much stronger squad in comparison to last season and I will back them to collect three points here. However, they had zero clean sheets in recent friendlies, so a home win & BTTS is a value bet.

Atleti Dominate H2H
These two sides met 71 times so far and Atletico Madrid hold a 40-12 advantage in terms of victories.
Atletico Madrid Coming off a Disappointing Season
Atletico Madrid didn’t win a single trophy last season, finishing in 4th place in the Spanish La Liga with 69 points, 25 less than the champions Barcelona.
Their season started with a commanding 4-1 win over Getafe, but then suffered back to back defeats against Manchester United 2-1 and Manchester City 3-1.
In their final test game, Diego Simeone’s side defeated Marseille 2-1 last weekend after a comeback, Rodrigo Mendoza and Carlos Martin appearing on the scoresheet.
Malaga Among the Elite Once Again
After an eight-year absence, Malaga finally returned to La Liga. After finishing fourth in Segunda, they eliminated Las Palmas 2-1 on aggregate in the playoff semifinals.
In the playoff finals, Malaga hosted Almeria in the first tie which ended goalless, then won 2-1 on the road to secure promotion. Chupe broke the deadlock in the 65th minute, while David Larrubia doubled the lead six minutes later.
Malaga’s results during the pre-season were mixed. In their last test game they locked horns against Fulham and barely avoided defeat, Eneko Jauregi scoring an equalizer in stoppage time (2-2).
Team News & Predicted Lineups
Atletico Madrid (3-4-1-2) Jan Oblak; Marc Pubill, Robin Le Normand, David Hancko; Giuliano Simeone, Pablo Barrios, Koke, Alejandro Grimaldo; Lee Kang-in; Ademola Lookman, Arnau Ortiz
Atletico Madrid made significant changes to their roster this summer, Thiago Almada, Nahuel Molina, Clement Lenglet and Antoine Griezmann leaving the club, while Cristiano Romero, Morten Hjulmand, Alejandro Grimaldo and Kang-in Lee are the biggest signings. It is still unknown if Julian Alvarez is staying since he demands transfer to Barcelona.
Malaga (4-2-3-1) Alfonso Herrero; Carlos Puga, Alex Recio, Einar Galilea, Jose Salinas; David Larrubia, Izan Merino, Rodriguez, Dani Lorenzo, Joaquin Munoz; Chupe
Aaron Ochoa won’t travel to Madrid for Malaga due to a suspension, while Adrian Nino, Diego Murillo and Carlos Dotor are injured.
Verdict
Malaga netted 12 goals in their five pre-season friendlies against respectable opposition, so I like their chances of finding the net in Madrid but only as a consolation goal.
