Real Madrid have been on fire this season, I have been tipping them regularly in a variety of markets this year as they continue to impress me under Jose Mourinho.
This season he has them in the best possible shape and I feel they have their best opportunity to challenge Barcelona for the Championship and also European success.
They destroyed teams throughout pre season and out played Barcelona over two legs in the Spanish Super Copa despite losing out in the end by a single late goal.
In the Liga they have slipped up once away to Levante although they did play most of the game with just 10 men and Ozil and Ronaldo both started on the bench.
They have already had some spectacular wins this campaign and have won their last 5 games in a row in all competitions.
Real have won 0-6 at Zaragoza and 0-4 at Espanyol this season and have had other wins of 6-2 over Rayo Vallecano and recently in the league they beat Betis 4-1.
In Europe Real have won all 3 of their games without conceding a goal.
Real have so much class throughout their side with the likes of Ronaldo, Ozil, Benzema, Higuian, De Maria, Alonso, Kaka amongst many other household names.
They are now a unit and play their football as a unit and I feel they are capable of scoring goals where ever they go.
Malaga have been playing well this season to be fair too them, despite being held away to Zaragoza and losing to both Levante and Sevilla on the road, they have been saving their best football for their home fans and have won all 3 of their games so far.
The thing is, they haven't really been tested yet I don't feel, at home anyway.
They beat Granada 4-0 in their opener but Granada have been very poor so far and I am convinced they will go straight back down this season.
Malaga then beat Athletic Bilbao 1-0 who are another team playing very below par.
Their most recent home game was a 3-2 win over Getafe, so their home defence was compromised for the first time here on two separate occasions.
The visit of Real Madrid will be their first big test for their defence and I cant imagine them being able to cope with it.
Malaga struggle at the back against pace and that is a massive thing Ronaldo and Co will be bringing with them, they just have bags of the stuff.
If Madrid have a weakness it would be that they do still on occasion concede silly goals, so I wouldn't write off Malaga scoring in this game.
That is why my best bet for this game would be once again, Real Madrid to Score in Both Halves.
Real will score against most of their opponents in both halves this season, whether they are playing home or away is not an issue, they just have too much in attack to not score goals.
Get ready for some value, Totesport currently have this market priced at 2.25, this is a great price and needs to be taken quickly in my opinion, other bookies have this as low as 1.75 which is a lot nearer to what I would personally price this market at.
