Why not bet on a Málaga win?

Because at home over this period, they are stringing together draws without a win. Betting on a win alone would be riskier than adding the draw, which is precisely the most likely outcome here.

Deportivo is in form, why see them fail?

Their momentum is real, but it is based on few matches and a league table that is still misleading at this stage. Facing a Málaga they haven't beaten in four duels, an away upset is far from obvious.

What if both teams get carried away offensively?

History says the opposite: low-scoring encounters and a Málaga that often keeps a clean sheet. The scenario of an open, high-scoring match remains the least likely.
