In front of goal, Real Betis score 1.8 and concede 1.6 a game on average; Malaga score 0.7 and concede 1.9. Our model expects around 1.9 goals for Real Betis and 0.9 for Malaga, and 1–1 is the single most likely scoreline at 12%.
We put over 2.5 goals at 60% and both teams to score at 54%. We make Real Betis 66% to win, the draw 20% and Malaga 14%, while the best bookmaker prices imply 68%, 19% and 14%. Our verdict is Real Betis to win: we rate it at 66%, against 68% implied by the best price of 1.46. There is no clear value at the current prices, as the bookmakers rate this at least as highly as we do, so treat it as our most likely sensible outcome rather than a value bet. Prices change, and nothing in football is guaranteed.
