Malaga – Atletico Madrid Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (01.04.2017)

Prediction for Malaga – Atletico Madrid

More than 5.5 cards @ 1.92

We go with a meeting that promises to be hard.

When facing these two teams, we see quite a few fouls and cards. If we tell, that both sets are played fairly, I think we have all the ingredients to see a game with many cards.

Malaga

Málaga needs to score to leave behind the ghost of the descent that already has it to 6 points. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid need to win to cut points to Sevilla in their fight for third place.

Both teams have players who often see enough cards, such as Gabi, Godín, Filipe, Juanfran on the part of Atletico Madrid, and Camacho, Jose Rodriguez, Llorente or Rosales on the part of Malaga.

The warnings can be a problem, because both Rosales and Juankar and Keko if they see yellow they would lose the decisive game against Sporting, nevertheless, I would not be surprised that some forced to stop to be before the Barcelona.

On the other side, we have Koke as the only warning, and this, could force card, but I also see it complicated since the match between week is against Real Sociedad, a team that fights for the same goal. Even so, I could see a card to get clean to the Madrid derby.

But, taking away the hypothetical case of the opponents, we have a hard fight in the middle of the field with Gabi, Koke and Saúl before Camacho, José Rodriguez and Fornals, so, I think there will be sparks.

Also highlight some players who have been through the meringues like Llorente (who would return next year), Miguel Torres and José Rodriguez, who will want to win an eternal rival of Madrid.

Atletico Madrid

In the first leg, we saw a two-sided match, where in the first half the Atleti passed over Málaga and in the second it was backwards, to the point that from a 3-1 we passed to 3-2 and with possibilities of tying . At that meeting, a total of 10 yellows and 2 reds were removed. And is that the Málaga-Atleti are always controversial and broncos, with players with a lot of character.

The worst thing about this pick is the referee. Trujillo is a fairly restrained referee in his actions, although in the last few games he has taken out enough cards. This season has an average of 4.75 cards per game. It is noteworthy that he has refereed disputed matches such as the Malaga 4-0 Leganés or Celta 3-1 Granada, or others where the teams settled for the draw as Eibar 0-0 Alavés or Espanyol 0-0 Athletic. Another such as Leganés 0-2 Celta we saw a very rare match with a Celta with substitutes and an apathetic Leganés not wanting to play and very rude.
Therefore, if the party has intensity until the end, Trujillo usually reaches 5 or 6 cards, as he has spent in the last three league matches he has directed.

Seeing that it will be a match with alternatives on both sides, bite with some temperamental players and cuts in the game to stop cons, I think we will have enough actions to see yellow, so, we will try with stake 1.
