Malaga – Betis Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (18.12.2017)

I’m going with this over card in this regional Andalusian derby that will be played next Monday by Málaga and Real Betis at the Málaga stadium, la Rosaleda.

We remember that in William Hill the yellow ones count as 10 points, the red ones are 25 points and the maximum is 35 points per player.

– On the local side we have Michel de Málaga, a team that is improving its performance in the last few days and is coming to win in a very difficult field as it is Anoeta and they have obtained 7 of the last 15 points in dispute, which brings you closer to your goal of salvation.

In spite of this, they remain penultimate in the classification and in descent, so the intensity of the malaguistas must be the same as at least at the moment.

As for cards, Málaga is the fifth highest-scoring team in the first division with a total of 43 yellows and 2 reds in the 15 matches played. In addition as local still receive more cards, being the 3rd team that receives more cards in this condition with 24 yellow and 2 red in 7 games (average of 3.71 own cards / match).

This season and also in previous ones, the games in the Rosaleda are usually with a large number of cards. This season there are 7 games at the home of Málaga and we have 6 hits for this line.

– On the other hand Real Betis, on the contrary, better placed in the classification that goes in the 12th position with 6 points of advantage over the zone of descent but is that they are living off the income obtained in the first days since they are in a very bad run of results, having obtained only 2 points from the last 15 in dispute.

They also arrive with several casualties of key players for them such as the Mexican Andrés Guardado and the Paraguayan Sanabria.

As for cards they do not go bad either and they are also increasing their number of warnings received in the last matches. In total they have 37 yellows and 2 reds in the 15 La Liga games. And as visitors increase their records having received 21 yellow and 2 red in their 7 games played in this condition (3.28 own cards / match).

We already know how demanding the Betic parish is, so the green and white players are in a lot of stress and a lot of pressure and I expect them to be really tough in this derby.

– The referee of the race is probably the least favorable, as it will be Alberola Rojas, debutant this season in the category. He has refereed 8 league matches having overcome this line in half of them (4 matches).

– I also like this bet because these Málaga – Betis derbies have been loaded with cards in recent seasons. Last season at the Rosaleda there were 8 yellows and at Villamarín 10 yellows were shown.

2 seasons ago at the Rosaleda we went to 7 yellows while at Villamarín 5 yellows were shown.
