Team News

Malaga
Elche
  • Malaga only have one possible injury concern, with Ignacio Camacho almost fit to play after a hip problem.
  • There is expected to be some rotation from the hosts, with Arthur Boka and Sergio Sanchez likely to slot into defence.
  • Juanmi is expected to take his place back up top, pushing Nordin Amrabat back into midfield, with Samuel and Samu Castellejo featuring out wide.
  • Elche are expected to be unchanged from the side which demolished Deportivo.
  • Jonathas netted last time out, taking his total for the season up to 11, as the visitors look to pick up more valuable points.
  • Jose Angel and Sergio Pelegrin are the only possible injury problems for the away side.

Prediction

  • Elche's important win over Deportivo last time out has lifted Los Franjiverdes eight points clear of the relegation zone with four matches left to play.
  • Malaga, meanwhile, are winless in their last seven matches in La Liga, with Javi Gracia's men unable to close the gap on sixth-placed Villarreal as a result.
  • At La Rosaleda, however, the hosts have lost merely one of their last eight games on home soil, but have recorded three consecutive draws of late.
