Malaga vs. Real Valladolid Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Malaga and Real Valladolid, taking place on Saturday, 07 March 2026, at The Estadio La Rosaleda in Malaga.
Malaga, Recent Form
Last time out, Malaga went away feeling content with a 1-0 away win against Granada They came away from that fixture with 58% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Granada managed 11 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
Manager Juan Funes will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 13 of their 14 played at The Estadio La Rosaleda this season.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 10 games.
On an individual basis, David Larrubia will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Malaga's last 6 league games.
Real Valladolid, Recent Form
Real Valladolid will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Huesca. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Huesca's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Their boss Fran Escribá is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 15 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 5 goals scored. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Real Valladolid, Víctor Meseguer will be looking to add more goals against Malaga in this match.
