Live on Skysports 2: Thu 21.00: Real Madrid are 2/11 (888sport) to beat Malaga and a decent 6/5 (Ladbrokes) to ‘win to nil’.
Malaga, 18/1 at Stan James, have not had a good time on their travels; just one win since September at Gijon is all they’ve got to show.
Madrid must put the draw at Deportivo behind them to keep tabs on Barca at the top and could do with a resounding win here. A win to nil looks pretty good at 6/5 (Ladbrokes) while Betfred offer a short but reasonable 4/7 that Real will win by 2 clear goals or more.
The evening’s other match sees Racing Santander travel to bottom placed Almeria as a tempting 2/1 shot with Paddy Power.
Thursday 3 March:
UD Almería v Racing Santander (19:00)
Real Madrid v Málaga (21:00)
