Malaga vs Atletico Madrid
La Liga, Spain
A hapless Malaga will have a mountain of a task to cut out when they host a formidable Atletico Madrid this Saturday. Having lost 1-0 to Las Palmas in their last game, Malaga’s hopes of defying relegation are all but over. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, would look to keep up with leaders Barcelona as they remain to be the only side possible of challenging for the top spot.

An upset is least likely to be on cards as Atletico have managed to stay consistent in the league this season. After defeating rivals Valencia in their last game, their confidence is further boosted. Malaga on the other hand have no positive going into the game with their stay in the Spanish top flight stares at an end. The final scoreline we expect will read 2-0 in favour of the visitors Atletico Madrid.
