Our Verdict
The double chance on draw or away represents the sharpest angle here. Málaga remain winless at La Rosaleda this season, collecting just three draws from five home outings, while Racing boast a six-match unbeaten run in this fixture. True, Racing's away form reads dreadfully, but Málaga's inability to convert home advantage into victories levels the playing field considerably. The draw at 3.60 looks the likeliest single outcome, with 2.75 offering additional cover. Back the X2 selection with moderate confidence at 52%.
