The curse in La Rosaleda has lasted for three and a half months

Málaga has its Achilles heel this season at La Rosaleda, where you do not find your level and the results do not accompany you. Taking a general balance of the team at this stage of the championship, the assessment is more than satisfactory. After a late planning forced by the sanction of LaLiga and the resolution of the ERE applied to the players of the first team, and with the lowest salary limit of the entire Second Division, the Blue and Whites They have added 31 points in 23 days and are closer to the playoff zone (to six points) than to relegation to Second B, on which it has an income of nine points.

However, these numbers could be better if the team had been more reliable. at home where some kind of curse haunts him which has him as the second worst local team in the category. And is that Málaga have not won at Martiricos since October 22, on matchday 7, when they beat Sporting of Gijón. Three and a half months later, Pellicer's team continues to seek its third win.

This Sunday's rival, Zaragoza, appears a priori as a very good opportunity to end that horrible streak. Málaga has added 11 points in 11 matchdays and has dropped 22 points in their home games. Only Sabadell, ten points at home, has worse figures than the Blue and Whites. Zaragoza, meanwhile, is the worst visitor in Segunda. The Aragonese have only achieved four points in 11 games. A win (0-3 at Alcorcón), a draw (1-1 in Cartagena) and nine away defeats.

The victory in Alcorcón ended a bad run of results for Málaga. Pellicer and his players will try to take advantage of this new wave in favor of winning Zaragoza on Sunday (4:00 pm) and put an end to the long drought of triumphs at La Rosaleda.
