Deportivo La Coruna – Malaga

Deportivo La Coruña host a struggling Malaga side in what promises to be a decisive encounter for both clubs. Sitting sixth with nine points from two wins and three draws, La Coruña have already out‑scored opponents 9‑6 and will be eager to extend that modest lead. Malaga, languishing 17th with just three points from three goalless draws and two defeats, have managed only two goals while conceding eight. The gulf in form and goal difference suggests the home team should have the upper hand, but a point‑saving draw could still keep Malaga’s survival hopes alive. The fixture also renews a recent trend of tightly contested matches, with neither side having secured a win in their last three meetings.
