Málaga, Recent FormMálaga won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 away defeat to Granada, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. They achieved 38% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Granada's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. 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. With a defensive record that shows one or more goals given away in 10 of their 14 home matches so far this season, boss Sergio Pellicer will not be happy with his squad's capabilities at keeping a clean sheet at home.
Malaga will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Málaga, Lago Júnior will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Racing Santander, Recent FormRacing Santander will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against FC Andorra. In that game they recorded 26 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 22 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power José Alberto López will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. 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. 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've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Jordi Mboula will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Racing Santander.
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
Malaga will be looking to extend their current run of 4 clean sheets against Los Racinguistas. The Los Racinguistas defence has struggled at The Estadio La Rosaleda, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 visits. In their past 5 meetings, Los Albicelestes' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Santander will have to take their chances when they come. In their last 3 away league games against Los Albicelestes, Santander have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
Playing at home, Malaga have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced Santander in the league.
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.
Santander manager José Alberto López has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
