The great fall of Malaga began against Amorebieta

It can be said that there is a before and after, for Málaga, of that match against Amorebieta that was played at La Rosaleda on 5-12-2021. Despite having just lost resoundingly in Burgos (3-0), Málaga was seventh in the standings with 26 points, one less than Las Palmas with 26; eight more than Fuenlabrada, which, with 18, was the frontier of relegation and 14 more than Amorebieta. It was day 19. Since then, three months of nightmare. Since then things have gotten worse for the people of Malaga that they have only won one of their next 12 games, they have only added seven points and that they are now ten points away from Girona’s playoff spot.

And the tricky part is below. Fifth from the bottom, this Sunday he has a final, precisely, against Amorebieta, origin of the aforementioned and relentless process of decline. If Málaga loses and zornotzarras, Sanse and Fuenla do, the distance cushion with relegation will be reduced to four points and with the goals lost with the Real and Amore reserves.

In the aforementioned clash, Amorebieta took the victory with two goals from Guruzeta. Luengo’s own goal in the 94th minute did not underpin the Malaguista reaction that, in this way, accommodated his first defeat in his home that went from impregnable to nightmare. Six games without a win with two points out of 18. And as a visitor it continues to be a calamity, we find a Málaga in depression.

Another Hicham injury

For the rest, in the call provided by Natxo González, the attention is drawn to the new absence due to Hicham injury due to a contracture in the calf. Between some things and others, the Moroccan has accumulated ten injuries in these seasons. Quite an ordeal. Neither will Jairo due to muscular problems nor Escassi, due to suspension. Enter the list Juande, who has many chances to play, Paulino and the young Andrés Caro.

Likely alignment.

Dani Barrio; Vïctor Gómez, Juande, Peybernes, Javi Jiménez; Lombard; Paulino, Aleix Febas, Jozabed, Vadillo; and Brandon.
