La Liga Game of the Week: Real Betis Vs Malaga 24/2/13


Fourth placed Malaga will be looking to strengthen their hold on their Champions League place when they travel to Betis having won their last 2 away league games. But the home side sit in 8th position and are unbeaten in their last 3, but have not beaten Malaga in the league until 2004.

A win for Malaga will move them to within four points of third place Real Madrid, who came from a goal down to win at Deportivo on Saturday and a win for the home side will move them into 7th place and give them a realistic chance of a Europa League place at worst.

Player to Watch: The Spanish midfielder has been key to Malaga's success in both the league and Champions League this season and will no doubt spearhead any threat the away side have. Isco was recently capped by Spain in a 3-1 win against Uruguay.

Soccer_Xtra Prediction: Real Betis 1-3 Malaga
