BEST ODDS
Our pick: Bookmakers offer average 1.70 (implied 58.8%) for Both Teams to Score. Our experts calculate a 61.3% probability (an expert ratio of 1.63). We chose this bet because our experts rate it more likely than the bookmaker price implies (61.3% vs 58.8%), driven by both attacks scoring freely while both defences look leaky. That edge makes it our most confident selection for this match.

Match Preview

The model favours Malaga to win this match against Levante, projecting a scoreline of 1-0. Despite their current position near the bottom of the standings, Malaga has shown some resilience in their recent form, managing to secure one victory in their last five matches. Their ability to compete, reflected in the last five results, suggests they can build on their previous performance and capitalize on Levante’s struggles. On the other hand, Levante is also searching for their first points of the season, having lost their opening match with a concerning goal difference of -3. Their recent form indicates inconsistency, with three wins in their last five matches prior to the season start, but they failed to carry that momentum into their opening La Liga fixture. The lack of goals and defensive vulnerabilities could pose significant challenges for them in this matchup. The model indicates a win probability of 55% for Malaga, while the projected score remains at 1-0. One key market percentage to note is the likelihood of under 2.5 goals being scored in the match. However, the caveat is that if Levante can find their scoring touch or if Malaga's defense falters, the outcome could tilt in a different direction. The full method applied by The Daily Punt Analysis Team is based on an in-house model that evaluates expected goals and actual results throughout the season.

The Daily Punt Analysis Team

Data-driven football predictions and betting tips

This forecast was built by the The Daily Punt Analysis Team using our in-house statistical model. We feed the model two layers of data for every fixture: each team's recent expected goals (xG and xGA) and their actual goals scored and conceded, split by home and away venue. The numbers run through a Poisson distribution that produces a probability for every possible scoreline, which we then convert into fair odds for the 1X2, correct score, BTTS, and over/under markets.

Before publishing, we cross-check our fair odds against the prices the major bookmakers are offering. Where a bookmaker is paying out more than our model says is mathematically fair, we flag that market as a value bet on this page.
