Next Sunday will be just four months since the last victory won by Málaga at La Rosaleda. It was on October 21 against Sporting. Since then, each home game has been a valley of tears for the Blue and White team to receive a dangerous adversary, Rayo Vallecano, who between hours of feats, was able to overcome a 2-0 against none other than Espanyol.
We analyze Málaga's numbers at home since Sergio Pellicer debuted on January 14, 2020 against Ponferradina (1-0 win). In the final stretch of last season the team obtained fundamental numbers for their salvation. He won six of his ten games, drew two and lost another two. Added 20 points out of 30 possible.
However, the reality of this exercise can be described as exasperating. Twelve games played, only two won, five tied and another five lost. Eleven points out of 36 that together with a negative sequence with a single victory in the last nine games has resulted in Malaga giving up cushion with respect to first relegation place. They are only six points. Winning the franjirrojos will be essential to avoid tremors.
Cristian Rodríguez is doubt
On the other hand, Cristian Rodríguez is a doubt for this game. The Jerez, with a blow, which has caused post-traumatic arthritis in his left foot, has had to do work in the gym in the company of Benkhemassa, although in the case of the Algerian, as a precaution after recovering from his injury, because he is already fit. Bad luck for Pellicer who promised them happy on Wednesday because he was finally able to reunite his 18 professionals.
