Real Sociedad vs Málaga Match Preview
Newly promoted Real Sociedad needs the full scoring to remain competitive in the European fight, while Manuel Pellegrini's Malaga must retain the three points to abandon the bottom position by Monday.
Martin Lasarte's Errealas played a poor game last week in A Coruña and wasted a perfect opportunity to join Sevilla and Atletico at the 7th position. Malaga needs the three points to get back on its feet, as Osasuna defeated them last week on injury time and now not even a victory would be enough for Malaga to finish the week above the relegation line.
Manuel Pellegrini misses Martin Demichelis, ruled out due to disciplinary action, but might be able to recover Jesus Gamez, Hélder Rosario, and Weligton, but not Apoño. Malaga's defenders hould be extremely careful with Raul Tamudo, who wants to recover his place as leader of Real Sociedad's attack.
An important test for Real Sociedad to show how stubborn they can get when the European qualification is at steak. Will they secure the three points in Anoeta this Sunday?
