Elche – Malaga

Elche host Malaga in what promises to be a tight encounter at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero, with both sides struggling for points this season. The hosts sit 19th on the table, having collected just two points from five games – all from two goalless draws and three defeats, and a meagre 6‑13 goal return. Malaga sit two places higher in 17th, also winless but marginally better off with three points from three stalemates and a 2‑8 goal record. With relegation looming for both clubs, the match could turn on a single breakthrough, as each side looks to convert their string of draws into a vital victory.
