Málaga at Real Madrid



The full preview, matchup keys, probable starters and the storylines to watch, posts closer to game time, once lineups are set.
The books’ price on this one, with the vig taken out, so the three outcomes add to 100.
Where each club sits going in, with the rows either side. Points per game matters more than raw points this far into a season, the schedule is rarely even.
Each club's XI from its most recent match, not a team sheet. The real ones post about an hour before kickoff, and sides rotate.
