Málaga vs Athletic Club prediction, odds and how to watch

Athletic Club won the Basque derby 2-1 despite being outplayed for large stretches, with Iñaki Williams scoring early and Álex Berenguer converting a stoppage-time first-half penalty to settle a fiery San Mamés night.

Real Betis secured all three points at home against Málaga, but they made hard work of it after Adrián Niño Heredia pulled one back for the visitors in the second half. Two goals before the break, from Marc Bartra and Pablo Fornals, proved just enough.

Athletic Club put four past Getafe at home with a controlled, dominant display. Getafe had no answers and finished the match with ten men.

Levante ended a five-match winless run in emphatic fashion, beating Athletic Club 3-1 thanks to a blistering Roger Brugué double and a Karl Etta Eyong late strike, with Aymeric Laporte's red card effectively ending Athletic's hopes.

Málaga arrive at this fixture without a win in five La Liga matches and with a defence that has conceded eleven goals in that stretch. Athletic Club will fancy their chances.

Two struggling sides meet at El Sadar on Sunday evening, with Osasuna desperate to arrest a damning run of form and Málaga yet to taste victory in their last five La Liga matches.

Athletic Club have drawn three of their last five La Liga matches and cannot afford another stalemate. Espanyol arrive with three losses in their last five and a defence that has been wide open.

Real Betis host a Málaga side still searching for their first La Liga win of this rolling sample, but Betis have shipped nine goals in five matches and nothing about this fixture looks straightforward.
