Malaga had just three shots on target in the opening two rounds, so I don't see them getting anything against red-hot Real Madrid. A home win to nil is the best bet.

Los Blancos Dominate H2H

This is going to be 37th head to head match between these clubs and Real Madrid have a 27-1 advantage in terms of victories.

Real Flying Under Mourinho

Real Madrid claimed three points in their La Liga opening match against Espanyol 2-1 where they had to wait until stoppage time to score the winning goal, Carlos Espi on Target.

Los Blancos looked fantastic during the mid-week action, crushing Real Sociedad 4-1 in front of the home crowd. Kylian Mbappe starred here, netting a hat-trick, Vinicius Junior also on target.

After winning zero trophies in the previous campaign, they parted ways with Alvaro Arbeloa and appointed Jose Mourinho as the new head manager earlier this summer.

Malaga Winless This Season

After spending eight years in Segunda, Malaga finally returned to La Liga but will have problems staying in the elite division judging by the opening two rounds.

They looked solid defensively in the first match against Atletico Madrid, successfully defending for 70 minutes then conceded twice and losing 2-0.

Malaga's home premiere was on Monday against another freshly promoted side Deportivo La Coruna. After conceding early, Chupe converted a penalty in the 34th minute which turned out to be the final score. They were slightly more dangerous side here with 1.95-1.12 xG and 13-6 shots.

Verdict

Real Madrid v Malaga

Malaga lacked creativity in the opening two rounds, registering just three shots on target. Real Madrid are flying after claiming back to back wins against tough opposition, so I will back them to win to nil here.

Another bet worth considering is Jude Bellingham to score anytime. He had an amazing run at the World Cup 2026, bagging seven goals, plus two assists against Sociedad during mid-week.
