Malaga is strong at home. La Rosaleda has become unapproachable territory for Blue and White rivals. The numbers speak for themselves. 10 points out of 12 possible in the four games played in Martiricos, in which Malaga have not conceded a goal.
Through the armored fiefdom of Costa del Sol they have paraded Mirandés (0-0), Alcorcón (1-0), Girona (2-0) and Fuenlabrada (1-0) and all have been clearly outmatched by José Alberto's team, whose performance at home is far from and far from the benefits it has offered away from La Rosaleda. In fact, Málaga has only added one point away from home.
“Hopefully we can achieve this regularity also away from home and compete. At home we have not conceded a single goal and away we have conceded ten goals, there are many. We must win in regularity, in competing, in becoming solid, in being more forceful. That is the way to get points away from home and it is clear that there we have to improve ”, explained the Blue and White coach after Sunday's clash against Fuenlabrada.
Friday's game against Valladolid is presented as a challenge for Málaga. A rival of substance, a clear candidate for promotion to test again the lack of solidity and competitiveness shown by Martiricos away from home. It will be without Sekou, who will not be able to play under contract, without Víctor Gómez, with the U21, and without the injured Hicham, Chavarría and Luis Muñoz (this Wednesday he will go through the operating room to correct that rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee that you will have between seven and eight months off).
