Malaga and Bilbao seem to share a common attribute. Their rhythm deserts them when they play away from home. Bilbao’s six away games brought them 4L and 2W, while Malaga’s seven matches offered a meager result of 4D and 3L.

Bilbao has displayed excellent form when they play at home, 5W and 2D. Malaga cannot even find solace in its home record either: 3W and 3L. When these teams meet on Monday in Malaga, the home fans will be putting more hope on Bilbao’s poor away record than their own team’s home strengths.

Atletico Bilbao, fuelled by their top-notch home performance, is sixth in the league, while Malaga is 14th. H2H statistics reveal a slight edge for Malaga. It has nine wins against Bilbao’s seven wins. A majority of the recent games between these teams – 6 out of 10 – have been draws.

Malaga’s entire first choice forward line-up may not be available due to injuries. Roque Santa Cruz and Mounir El Hamdaoui are the team’s top scorers, but both are doubtful starters. Bilbao has no significant injury scare. Their hard-working strikers, Aritz Aduriz, Moreno Mikel Rico and Oscar de Marcos, must take the lead in replicating their home success in away matches too.

Malaga-Atletico Bilbao Betting tips:

None of the teams hold any particular advantage. Malaga’s home advantage is neutralized by the unavailability of their top strikers. We go for a draw.
