Málaga form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, Málaga have managed 7 wins, 7 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 20 games. Málaga are slowly digging their own grave here at Estadio La Rosaleda with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eleven attempts. The last victory here came in the Las Palmas match.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Málaga, as their goalkeeper Daniel Martin Fernandez has completely shut out the opponents for 191 minutes in the La Liga 2.

A strong away win for Málaga against Tenerife the last match, as Febas and Vadillo were on target. Casas was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.01 out of 10. The defender Casas hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 5 of 7 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Real Oviedo that ended 0-0.

Málaga aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio La Rosaleda in the league, with only 18 goals from 20 games. Málaga have conceded 23 in these home matches.
