Hercules vs Málaga Match Preview
Esteban Vigo's Hercules host Malaga on Sunday in a decisive game for the relegation fight. Hercules misses Matías Fritzler for this clash, as he received his fifth yellow card in the last game.Things haven't work out as expected since Manuel Pellegrini arrived to Malaga. The visitors are only three points above the relegation line. A defeat at the Rico Perez could deliver a fatal blow to the Boquerones, who have not been particularly successful playing away.
Pellegrini recovers Sebastián Fernández and Patrick Mtliga, but it's expected the same starting eleven that defeated Racing last week will be responsible for dealing with Hercules' defense.
Will Malaga survive the overwhelming firepower of David Trezeguet and Nelson Haedo Valdez?
