In some midweek action in La Liga, Real Madrid will host Malaga with the same ambition of winning. According to Jerzy Dudek, Los Blancos’ perfect home record will be too much for Malaga to handle.
Real Madrid are actually poised to clinch their 20th home victory on the trot in all competitions tonight. In La Liga, they’ve played 12 matches at the Santiago Bernabeu without knowing anything less than a victory in each of those encounters.
Being 10 points behind Barcelona ahead of the Malaga match, there’s an absolute need for Real Madrid to get yet another “routine” win on home soil. For goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek, Real Madrid are not ready to suffer an upset – even if Malaga possess the Manuel Pellegrini factor.
“Every team who comes to Madrid wants to surprise us and they sacrifice everything to win,” he told Bwin.com.
“Yes, [ex-Real Madrid coach Manuel] Pellegrini knows well how we work. But we are strong at home and I think we are favourites to win.
“I think that we are good at home. Iker [Casillas] never has much to do, which means that the defence works well.
“This is the key to make things work when we play at home: don't concede, try to score.”
At the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid have scored as much as 37 goals and allowed only 6. With this, they have the best home statistics in La Liga and they hope to build on that as they refuse to concede the title to leaders Barcelona.
