In their last fixture against Alavés, Málaga managed a 1-0 home victory, so they'll be in confident mood going into this game.  During that encounter they had 48% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 9 shots on goal.  

It seems pretty certain that Pepe Mel will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 4 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at The Estadio La Rosaleda, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home.  This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 17 of their 21 league games.  

They have shown a solid run of form lately at The Estadio La Rosaleda, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.

Tenerife will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against FC Andorra, not least because of the valuable point gained.  In that game they had 28% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to FC Andorra who had 7 attempts and 2 on target.  

Luis Miguel Ramis will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels.  Away from home they have not had their troubles to seek, with at least 1 goal conceded in 9 of their last 10 away league matches this season, making points hard to come by on the road.  

They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.  So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 10 away games.  

Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Tenerife, Elady Zorrilla will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
