Málaga vs Deportivo Xerez Match Preview
Had it not been because of Lionel Messi’s late goal, Malaga would have recorded a significant draw away to Barcelona last weekend.When Valdo equalized Pedro’s goal at the 81st minute, it look like the Boquerones would hang on to their unbeaten record which they had been holding since their 2-0 loss to Real Madrid.
Actually, that wasn’t to be. Malaga subsequently fell onto 14th in the table, meaning that they’ll have some job to do against Xerez this weekend.
The Boquerenos have proven to be a difficult side to break down lately and they might inflict fear again on their counterparts Xerez who remain at the very bottom of La Liga standings.
15 points separate both teams while Xerez are yet to move out from the relegation zone as they count 12 points only compared to Zaragoza who are 17th with 24 points from 24 matches.
However, last weekend perhaps marked the start of better things to come for the Azulinos. They were able to salvage a vital draw against Espanyol thanks to Bermejo’s 76th minute equalizer of Osvaldo’s first half goal.
If they can build on this result which offered them some moral boost, Xerez might as well be able trouble Malaga on Sunday.
The game will kick off at 16:00 GMT at the Estadio La Rosaleda in Malaga.
Any repeat of the 1-1 draw which came up in the first leg of this fixture?
