Valencia-Malaga ... Locals seek consolidation

Valencia and Malaga are measured at the Mestalla in a match where the home team wants to consolidate its improvement with fifth straight win and in which the Andalusian try to establish their new project. While Valencia is fourth and main objective is to win to have any chance of reaching the third place, Malaga, which has reinvented itself in Ecuador of the league, aim for a win after a draw against Athletic and defeat in Barcelona .

For this, the team will truncate a string Malaga adverse Mestalla, which has not won since last 55 years, since his last win in this stadium back to the 54-55 season. The team that trains Unai Emery faces the match with great confidence after four victories accumulated, since from the 3-3 draw at home to Osasuna, has won everything.

The nursing team has begun to empty or at least see how some players are in the final stage of its recovery, since they are the gatekeepers low César Sánchez and Miguel Angel Moya and David Albelda. The hamstring problems in the Vicente Rodriguez left off the team, who may return after his absence through suspension Aritz Aduriz and Joaquín Sánchez.

With this background and waiting for the technician to provide the squad on the same day of the meeting, the alignment of Valencia is completely open. The aim of Valencia is to take the start of the second round, which is measured by teams fighting to stay, for collection of points going to the next month which will compete in Europe and teams begin to be measured the upper part of the league.

Malaga, to the point of descent, begins the second round against Valencia at the Mestalla, with the aim of distancing themselves from dangerous positions in the new era that started with five new signings, which have already debuted in the league. Malaga team that lost last weekend to Barcelona without giving a good image, looking to score in one of the toughest fields of the First Division, where in recent seasons has alternated defeats with a draw.

In addition, another aspect that should correct the Málaga is to the goals conceded as the most goals in the class and almost never kept a clean sheet. The Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini returns to the right side Jesus Gamez, who had physical problems, so could not play against the Catalan side, and he will take his place at the expense of Manolo Gaspar.

The nineteen-man squad are goalkeeper Asenjo and Arnau, the defenders Gámez, Manolo, Weligton, Demichelis, Hélder and Mtiliga, midfielders Duda, Eliseu, Fernando, Apono, Maresca, Camacho and Portillo, and forwards Rondón, Baptista and Fernandez. Probable lineups: Valencia: Guaita, Miguel, Stankevicius, Ricardo Costa, Mathieu and Jordi Alba, Joaquin and Pablo, Maduro, Banega or Tino Costa, Mata, Soldier and Aduriz.
