Malaga vs Real Betis : Match Preview & Prediction

Team News

Malaga
  • Federico Ricca and Diego Rolan are creeping back to fitness, but likely won’t be involved until next week.
  • Diego Gonzalez should continue at left-back, with Michel maintaining the same team that has done well lately.
  • Borja Baston will help to lead the line after being involved in both goals versus Real Sociedad last weekend.
Real Betis
  • Jordi Amat is back from suspension, but Aissa Mandi and Zouhair Feddal will be preferred at centre-back.
  • Andres Guardado is suspended for the away side, and also picked up an injury problem against Atletico Madrid recently.
  • Fabian Ruiz and Ryad Boudebouz will be asked to strike up a partnership in central midfield.

Match Facts

Real Betis have failed to score in their last 3 away matches (La Liga).

Real Betis have lost their last 3 away matches (La Liga).

Prediction

  • Malaga have lost just one game in their last five competitive outings, with Los Boquerones appearing to have turned a corner just before the Christmas period.
  • The hosts’ fans always turn out in force, giving their team a terrific welcome. That factor could be a big boost against a visiting side that are struggling for confidence.
  • Betis are winless in their last five games and appear to be entirely clueless in terms of their direction. They need a bit of confidence, and fast.

Everton vs Swansea : Match Preview & Prediction

Team News

Everton
  • Sam Allardyce is unlikely to change things at the back given Everton’s improved defensive showings.
  • Tom Davies and Oumar Niasse will push for starts this weekend, but few changes are expected from the home side.
Swansea
  • Wayne Routledge is a doubt for the away side after missing Swansea’s 4-0 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday.
  • Federico Fernández has returned to the matchday squad for Swansea’s last two matches and could start at Goodison Park on Monday night.

Swansea are undefeated in their last 7 matches against Everton in all competitions.

Prediction

  • Everton are unbeaten in four, winning three and keeping clean sheets in each of those victories. The Toffees are now in the top half of the table and things are looking positive since Sam Allardyce’s appointment.
  • Swansea, meanwhile, are bottom of the Premier League and two points adrift of safety. They were tanked 4-0 at home to Manchester City on Wednesday and Paul Clement is walking the managerial tightrope.
  • Swansea are actually unbeaten in their last seven against Everton, while five of the last six meetings between the two sides have produced under 2.5 goals.
  • Form and momentum points towards a home win, despite Swansea’s good recent run against the Toffees.
