Málaga, Recent FormMálaga will have been reasonably pleased with their 0-0 draw against Sporting Gijón, not least because of the valuable point gained. They came away from that fixture with 45% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Sporting Gijón managed 9 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. Having shipped at least a single goal in 20 of their 25 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
There will be mixed feelings from Los Albicelestes, although undefeated in their last 6 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Real Oviedo, Recent FormThe Real Oviedo squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Villarreal B, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Villarreal B's tally of 3 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Álvaro Cervera will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Real Oviedo, Borja Bastón will be looking to add more goals against Málaga in this match.
It was one to forget for Málaga last time they met Real Oviedo in the league, falling to a 1-0 defeat.
On each of the last 2 outings between Malaga and Carbayones in the league, Malaga have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. In their past 5 meetings, Oviedo's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Los Albicelestes will have to take their chances when they come. Playing away from home, Oviedo have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Malaga.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at The Estadio La Rosaleda in the league, but Malaga will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings there.
There is only really one injury concern for the Malaga manager Sergio Pellicer ahead of this clash, with Lago Júnior (COVID-19) missing out, which gives Pellicer a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Oviedo manager Álvaro Cervera ahead of this clash, with Luis Luismi (COVID-19) missing out, which gives Cervera a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
