Atl. Madrid vs Malaga prediction (1x2)

Atletico’s 1-0 win in Bilbao on Wednesday was their third consecutive clean sheet and fourth win in a row. Simeone’s men have lost once at home in La Liga this season and are undefeated in 14 home league games since losing to Barcelona in September. They are level on points with Barcelona at the top of the league and with little chance of pulling back the 25 goals they trail on goal difference, will be focussed on taking their wins and hoping Barca slip up. Malaga have not won in the last four games in which they have picked up three points in total from struggling Espanyol, Granada and Vallecano. They have recorded one win in the last six away games in La Liga, playing a draw in three of the last four. Malaga have drawn 12 of 34 league games this season with only Deportivo having drawn more. Atletico should be able to gain another three points in their race with Barcelona and could become the first team to beat Malaga by more than one goal for over five months.
