There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Almería leading Málaga by 11 points.

It's no vacation for neither Almería nor Málaga as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Málaga is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
