Real Madrid aim to keep unbeaten streak against Malaga
Real Madrid host Malaga this Dimanche at 17h in the Santiago Bernabeu, a third‑day Liga encounter that forms the centrepiece of the latest Pronostic. The Merengue arrive unbeaten after two victories – a 1‑2 win on the Espanyol Barcelone turf and a 4‑1 triumph over Real Sociedad – both highlighted by a Kylian Mbappé hat‑trick.
First‑half expectations
Le Real have begun the season with six goals in two matches, a tally driven by the French striker Kylian Mbappé, whose triplé against Sociedad underscored his early form. De la Liga campaign, the pair of wins on the Espanyol and Sociedad grounds have given the Merengue a perfect record and a confidence boost ahead of the upcoming test.
Second‑half challenges for Malaga
Malaga return to the top flight this season and face a daunting task at the Bernabéu. La side will need to stay organised, limit the spaces for the Madrid attack and keep a tight defence, especially against the speed and movement of Mbappé. Les Merengue will dominate possession, leaving the Andalusians with few opportunities but a point would still be a massive achievement.
The probable line‑up for Real Madrid features Courtois, Dumfries, Konaté, Huijsen and Cucurella in defence, with Silva, Valverde, Güler, Bellingham and Vinícius supporting Mbappé up front. Malaga are expected to line up Herrero, Puga, Recio, Galilea, Rafita, Merino, Lorenzo, Larrubia, Dotor, Muñoz and Chupe.
Key players to watch include Kylian Mbappé, whose six goals in two games make him the main threat, and David Larrubia, the Malaga midfielder who could provide the creative spark needed to trouble the home side.
Le Pronostic is clear: the Merengue must avoid any lapse if they wish to extend their flawless start. With the crowd behind them, Real Madrid will look to secure a third consecutive victory and keep their unbeaten record intact.
