Match preview: Elche vs Malaga
The match will take place at Manuel Martínez Valero Stadium, marking the 41st round of the Adelante League. The last time these two teams met in this league, Elche emerged victorious with a score of (0‑3) on 28‑09‑2024. It’s important to note the home and away performance, as both teams have seen vastly different results in their respective venues.
Team analysis: Elche
Currently, Elche sits in 2nd place with 71 points, gathered through 20 wins, 11 draws, and 9 losses. In their previous match, they suffered a 1‑3 defeat at home to the uprising team. Their last outing saw them lose 2‑1 against Huesca away. This team typically performs better at home, boasting a record of 12 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 20 matches at their ground, scoring 30 and conceding just 12. Since the last 10 games at home, Elche has accrued 25 points, indicating their strength at Manuel Martínez Valero. Their attacks have been consistent, having found the net in every one of their last 10 league games. Remarkably, in 40 league matches, they have overturned the scoreline only twice when conceding the first goal.
However, Elche’s quest for the championship is currently facing hurdles, especially after their recent loss to Huesca. Playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation, the team counts on the dynamic movements of Agustín Álvarez, Nicolás Mercau, and Mourad El Ghezouani to apply pressure offensively and control the final third effectively. Jehosan plays a pivotal role in their transitional play, orchestrating the match and ensuring connectivity among the players. Notably, their right winger Germán will miss the next match due to suspension.
Team analysis: Malaga
Currently placed 17th, Malaga has secured 49 points through 12 wins, 16 draws, and 12 losses. Their last outing was a 1‑0 defeat against Eldense, followed by a 2‑1 win at home against Sporting Gijón. They have struggled as visitors, with a record of 2 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses from their last 30 away matches, scoring 15 goals while conceding 23. Conversely, at home, they’ve fared better with 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses, having scored 16 goals and conceded 10. Their record in the last 10 matches features 2 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses, with only 8 points from a possible 30. Frequently, their matches as visitors conclude with a 0‑0 draw at half-time (11 times in 20 games). Defensively, they have allowed goals in 7 of their last 10 fixtures, indicating vulnerabilities at the back. They’ve gone behind first in 18 out of 40 matches in this league and have managed to come back only twice. Notably, they have scored 7 of their 20 goals in the final 15 minutes of their last 20 away games.
Malaga has experienced a rough season but managed to stave off relegation last time out at home against Sporting Gijón, winning 2-1. Playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation, their attacking strategies revolve around Dioni, who poses a constant threat in the box. Furthermore, Antonio Cordero’s role as the playmaker adds creativity and precision to their attacks, making him one of the key players for the team. The left-back Victor García will miss the next match due to suspension.
