Football Bet of the Day: Bottom-half clash to deliver top-drawer entertainment

Osasuna v Malaga
Friday 19:45 (Live on Sky Sports 1)

Newcastle Jets 2 Melbourne City 1 in Australia this morning means we've won four straight so far this week.

Bet number five takes us to Spain, where there's a solitary Friday-night game in La Liga. Bottom-of-the-table Osasuna are hosting 14th-placed Malaga and we fancy it might just be a little more entertaining than it sounds.

It's not hard to discern why Osasuna are where they are. The Reds have got the joint-worst defence in the division (42 goals conceded in 19 games so far).

Despite the fact they've got a new man in charge, Joaquin Caparros, there's no sign it's getting any firmer. The hosts have conceded at least three times on each of their last four appearances at El Sadar.

Thank goodness there are signs of improvement at the other end. The last two Liga games have finished 3-3 and 3-4, and we're ready to pounce on a generous price about Over 2.5 Goals this evening.

Juande Ramos's Malaga have delivered Over 2.5 Goals in 5/6 on the road - only the mighty Barcelona have stopped them from scoring. Tonight, we fancy both sides to contribute to another high-scoring affair.
