15813 Malaga - 15814 Sevilla

La Rosaleda Stadium,  Málaga, Spain

2-28-2018 - 1:30 pm ET

The Match Day begins with Mediterranean side Malaga welcoming Sevilla  to the La Rosaleda, with both clubs coming off loses during the last round of fixtures, we should anticipate maximum efforts produced by each Spanish representative.

Sevilla depart Seville off a humbling 2-5 pummelling to Atletico Madrid over the weekend, now a trip to bottom of the table Malaga should be the exact remedy needed to provide their confidence back within the squad.

Los Rojiblancos start Match Day 26 having dropped to 6th in the Santander table, now on the outside looking in at European qualifications,
Sevillistas must improve on their 12-3-10 record going forward, with 39 points Sevilla now sit 2 points back from recapturing their spot in the top 5 of the league.

Vincenzo Montella has failed to find true consistency during his brief tenure with his new Spanish side, after playing and managing the majority of his career in Italy, the Red and Whites head man continues to adjust to the new league and Country.

Montella has slowly incorporated his tactical philosophies within the squad, preferring a 4-3-3 formation the Italian continues to draw up a heavy ball possession style of play within his weekly game plan, we should also expect to see long balls delivered frequently as he urges his front-line players to get behind the defense, while asking his skillful players to generate offense through technical 1v1 play, as they generally have the advantage to create generous shots on goal.

Argentine International Éver Banega continues to be a lynch-pin within the Sevilla attack, the veteran play-maker is critical in orchestrating Montella's vision while on the pitch, Banega has masterful skills with the ball at his feet, creating separation with his world class dribbling and passing abilities.

The multi-dimensional Sevilla central midfielder also offers up a clear danger from Set Pieces and Direct Free Kicks, using his pinpoint accuracy to deliver delightful balls into the box where the Seville side flourish in Aerial situations, with 6 Goals and 4 Assists totaled in all competitions, Benega's presence will be felt throughout the 90 minute shift.

Wissam Ben YedderPablo SarabiaLuis Muriel and Joaquín Correa  are set to battle it out for the top 3 spots in Sevilla's front-line, with a string of matches piling up over the next few weeks, Montella will be forced to rotate his danger men while opting to keep his team fresh for the stretch run, even so with 40 combined Goals in all competitions, the visitors offer clear quality regardless of what trio gets the nod in the starting eleven.

Sevilla have been less than dominant during their travels this campaign, the Red and Whites are scoring an average of 1 Goal per match in their first 13 La Liga road games.

The Sevilla defense has found it hard to keep their opposition of the score board away from home, conceding an average of 2 goals per match in their first 13 La Liga road games.

Malaga start the round desperate for points, the coastal club have struggled to find their form during this trying campaign, now bound for relegation to the Spanish second division, the once proud franchise must start to gather points each and every time they take to the pitch if they are to pull off a minor miracle of surviving.

The Anchovies hold the distinction of the 20th place team in the La Liga table, with a overall record of 3-4-18 and 13 points, the home side sit 7 points adrift from climbing out of the top flight cellar.

"Michel" Gonzalez was unable to survive the full campaign, after being brought in as the third manager in a trying 2016-2017 season,  "Michel" was only able to survive 10 months on the job before ultimately meeting his fate.

José González has been appointed as the newest voice in the locker room to attempt to this miraculous turn around, the former Spanish footballer recently returned from China after a stint with the Chinese Super League, now with a talk task ahead of him, the veteran coach must grab a result against a tough Sevilla side during Round 26.

González is known for being a well organized head man, electing to put as many as 10 men behind the ball, while he looks to absorb any pressure provided by talented attacking teams, using the counter attack to spring his Forwards and Wingers into action.

Set Pieces and Direct Free Kicks will also play a pivotal role in the Spaniards plan of attack, knowing that possession of the ball will be limited, his sides must adept at creating offense in many different creative ways.

Brown Ideye and Esteban Rolón look to lead the Boquerones in attack, having found consistent playing time a challenge during the course of the season, the tandem look to take advantage of the opportunities to shine on the La Liga stage, with only 1 total goal combined between the two tally's men, they must look to impose their will on a otherwise shaky Sevilla back-end.

Gonzalo Castro has been a bright spot during this difficult run of form, the Uruguayan attacking midfielder has continued to show his overall game, using crosses as a main weapon within his arsenal, his strength on the ball also gives him an advantage to draw in the defense while looking to play off others within the attack, with 3 Goals and 1 Assist during his time in the starting eleven, Castro has the quality to make a huge difference in Malaga grabbing all 3 points during Wednesdays fixture.

Malaga have found getting on the score-line difficult as of late, scoring an average of 0.8 Goals per match in their first 12 La Liga home games.

The Malaga defense have been put to the test while at the La Rosaleda, conceding an average of 1.5 Goals per match in their first 12 La Liga home games.

Prediction:

Sevilla enter this match with a clear advantage, the visitors squad dwarfs Malaga's in overall talent, but the Red and Whites have struggled to put together solid performances away from Seville during the 2017-2018 campaign.

The Sevillistas should be full of confidence though as they step onto the Mediterranean pitch, the guests have had their way with the Anchovies as of late, compiling some staggering numbers to back their dominance in this one sided rivalry.

Sevilla have scored at least 2 Goals in 8 of the last 9 meetings with the hosts in all competitions, while seeing the Total Exceed 2.5 Goals in 8 of their last 10 away fixtures to the La Rosaleda.

Malaga have found themselves on the other end of the spectrum, losing 8 of their last 10 La Liga matches, while failing to score in 5 of their last 6 home games.

This match up should offer a ton of one way traffic, as Sevilla will dominate the possession battle over the 90 minute shift, the visitors skillful front-line players will create several chances on goal as Malaga struggle to defend such situations, with Los Rojiblancos dominating within any Aerial battles that are provided between the two clubs.

Malaga must look to take advantage of any mistakes made by their opposition, while looking to get out and run through quick counter attacking football where Sevilla struggle to defend, the home side must also look to place themselves in Set Piece opportunities, Montella 's men have struggled to mark their men which have lead to unwarranted Goals being placed in the back of the net.

Both clubs have traditionally got on the score sheet when matched up together, this trend should continue as both sides have struggled to keep clean sheets going into Match Day 26.
