    RCD Espanyol
    The bottom-placed Malaga is a rare La Liga side that counts no international players in its entire squad. The team has had a full 20-day rest period, after being plagued by a string of injury issues in earlier matches. While two of their previously sidelined players, Calero and Aznou, are now back in the matchday squad, five others including Cahuest and Ochoa will still miss this game. Espanyol also carries a two-game losing streak into this clash. In their most recent fixture, they held a one-man advantage for most of the contest, yet still suffered a 1-3 defeat to Elche, a result that dented the team's confidence significantly. They are pinning their hopes on Spanish national team forward Roberto, as well as their returning captain Puado, to lead the side back to positive form.

      The mounting relegation pressure weighing on both sides sets the tone for this gritty, no-holds-barred battle between two sides mired in dismal recent form, each craving a full three points to reignite their morale. Malaga, desperate to snap their ongoing winless run, will go all out to claim a positive result on their home turf at La Rosaleda. Though Espanyol boasts a favorable historical head-to-head record against their hosts, their abysmal away form leaves them zero room for carelessness. For neutral fans, the storyline of seeing these two once-respected top-flight sides fight their way out of the current doldrums is far more engaging than the final match result itself.
