Malaga vs Racing Club Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 7 November 2026

📊 In eight head-to-head meetings, Malaga have won twice, Racing Santander have won three times, and the other three matches ended in draws. The teams have hardly treated their fans to goal feasts, scoring just 12 goals in total. Both teams scored in only two of those matches, and none featured more than three goals.

Malaga have scored just eight goals in 11 rounds, but their matches rarely pass without goals at both ends. The Andalusians have scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 league matches. At home, the same has happened in 4 of 5 matches. Racing Santander have been even more generous to their opponents, conceding 29 goals - the worst record in La Liga. They have not kept a clean sheet throughout the league campaign.

The visitors have had plenty of trouble converting chances away from home, but Malaga have now conceded in seven consecutive rounds. Even without Andrés Martín, Racing Santander still have players capable of capitalising on defensive mistakes. The hosts, meanwhile, have a chance to face a team that regularly falls apart under opposition pressure. Bet: Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.55*.

Corners are one of the few statistical categories in which Malaga do not look like underdogs. In the current league season, their matches average 10.55 corners in total. Racing Santander's figure is even higher at 12.64 corners per game. Previous head-to-head meetings between the teams have produced an average of 10.13 corners.

Malaga win 5.8 corners per home match. Racing Santander take only 3.8 away from home, but allow their opponents an average of 9 corners. In other words, the hosts regularly turn attacks into corners, while the visitors struggle to withstand opposition pressure. Therefore, our pick is: Total Corners - Over 9.5 at 1.56*.

Over 11 rounds, Malaga have received 26 yellow cards and Racing 29. Their averages are 2.36 and 2.64 bookings respectively. At home, Malaga receive exactly three cards per game, while Racing receive the same number away from home.

There is a lot at stake in the league table. Malaga cannot afford another defeat, while Racing risk slipping into the relegation zone. Between them, the teams have committed 275 fouls in 11 rounds. A meeting between two clubs from the lower part of the table suggests plenty of battles for every loose ball, especially if the score remains level for a long time. We’re backing Total Yellow Cards - Over 4.5.

⭐️ Editor's Pick

Both teams are in a position where even a draw no longer looks like a satisfactory result. Malaga need to climb off the bottom of the table, while Racing Santander must finally prove they can pick up points away from home. In these circumstances, it is hard to imagine either side willingly surrendering the initiative for the full 90 minutes. 

Malaga will have chances against a defence that regularly makes mistakes, but the Andalusians remain vulnerable at the back themselves. Racing Santander are not particularly dangerous away from home, although even the visitors’ modest attacking resources may be enough for a goal. The hosts have more motivation to take the initiative, while the side from Santander have opportunities to respond. Picking a winner is difficult, but both teams scoring looks likely. Correct score prediction: 1-1. Main bet: Both Teams to Score - Yes.
