Competition: La Liga

Market: Getafe to beat Malaga

Odds: 3/4 @ Bet365

La Liga returns for yet another massive round of games as the competition continues to excite and enthral fans across the world. The league has remained incredibly tight, with a win often able to see a side catapulted up the table, and with this in mind, relegation-threatened Malaga travel to face Getafe on Friday evening.

Getafe have been in good form this season and they are looking to put as much space between themselves and the relegation zone as possible. After 18 games they have won six, drawn five and lost seven, while they have scored 22 goals and conceded 18 times. In their last five they have won two, lost two and drawn once, which has helped them onto 23 points for the season so far, eight clear of Alaves in 18th. Another win on Friday would consolidate their position in the table, with safety firmly within their reach.

Malaga, on the other hand, have been struggling massively this season and desperately need a win, and soon. After 18 games they have won three, drawn twice and lost 13, scoring just 13 goals and conceding 32 times. In their last five they have won once, drawn once, and lost three times, with all of those defeats coming in their last three games. The 11 points they have picked up means they are five short of Deportivo La Coruna in 17th and safety, and they desperately need to win on Friday.
