Real Madrid’s away form has been one worrying issue for their title hopes, but Los Blancos have now improved their displays when on the road, winning their last two consecutive away games.
Since consecutive away draws at Valencia and Real Betis, Zidane’s crew have bounced back to beat Granada and Roma, but will now face a tricky trip to Malaga.
The Madrid giants were unable to break down Javi Gracia’s boys in their 1st meeting earlier this season. Will Les Merengues suffer the same fate at La Rosaleda?
Team news – Who’s fit and who’s not
Welsh superstar Gareth Bale remains sidelined, as he is yet to make a full recovery from his calf injury. Center-back Pepe is a doubt for Sunday’s trip with a foot injury, whilst Raphael Varane is out of the fixture having been sent off in the 4-2 Athletic Bilbao win.
Marcelo, though, is fully fit after dislocating, and is thus tipped with a starting XI berth, alongside Dani Carvajal.
Zidane confident over Real Madrid's chances ahead of Malaga game
Malaga will also have to make do without several players, as Christian Atsu and Chory Castro (muscular) are ruled out, with Juan Carlos (thigh) also unlikely to feature.
Head to head: Who has more wins?
Unsurprisingly, the numbers are on Real Madrid’s side, with the 10-time Champions League winners having won 21 of their last 29 clashes with Los Boquerones.
In those 29 encounters, Malaga only triumphed over Les Merengues once, a victory which dates back to December, 2012.
5 of Real Madrid’s last 6 trips to La Rosaleda have ended in victory.
