Prediction
Malaga are winless in the league after six matches. Along with Levante, they are the only sides yet to score a goal. The hosts have been frugal at the other end too conceding just 3 goals for 3 losses. Malaga would expect to put an end to their tough start with a win against the visiting Sociedad.
David Moyes oversaw a grinding 0-0 derby draw against Athletic Club but they have just 1 win in the season so far. But, the goals still remain elusive with 4 of the 5 goals scored by the team came from Agirretxe.
Both teams are goal shy at the moment and are looking for inspiration from their forwards. It could, however, turn out to be a low scoring match.
