Malaga vs Real Sociedad Preview
Sunday’s football game at Estadio La Rosaleda pits together Malaga and Real Sociedad, with the hosts still searching for their first victory of the season. Malaga earned another point against Espanyol last weekend, but their inability to turn draws into wins remains a concern. There are no fresh injury worries for the Andalusians, and Adrian Nino will be hoping to earn a starting place after scoring off the bench. Home advantage could help, although Malaga need to become more clinical in front of goal.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, travel south aiming to make it three consecutive victories after beating Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna by identical 3-2 scorelines. The Basques have found their attacking rhythm, but their recent defensive performances suggest another open encounter could be on the cards. Pablo Marín is suspended, while Mikel Oyarzabal returns to the starting XI, providing a significant boost to their forward line. With confidence growing, the visitors will fancy their chances against a winless opponent.
Taking everything into account, Real Sociedad look well placed to extend their winning streak, although both defences may offer opportunities. Therefore, Real Sociedad to win, BTTS and Over 2.5 goals betting options seem tempting.
This Primera Division match will be played on Sunday, 18 October 2026 at 17:30.
