Malaga and Espanyol head into Friday night’s La Liga meeting looking to recover from disappointing results before the international break. Malaga are in serious trouble at the bottom of the table after collecting only three points from seven matches, with three draws and four defeats leaving them still without a league victory. Their return to the Spanish top flight after earning promotion through the 2025-26 Segunda Division playoffs has proved difficult so far, particularly in attack, where they have scored only three goals. Their recent record against Espanyol offers little encouragement either, as Malaga have failed to beat the Catalan side in their last 14 league meetings and have lost each of the previous five encounters. Espanyol have made a slightly stronger start but remain in the lower half of the standings with seven points from seven games. They opened the campaign with a convincing victory over Levante and later secured another three points against Osasuna, but consecuti

Malaga have stumbled out of the new La Liga campaign without a single win across their opening seven fixtures, sitting rock bottom of the standings with three draws and four defeats to their name. Their home form is marginally more reassuring than their away displays, notching two draws and one loss across their first three home outings so far. Espanyol have hardly fared much better, sitting 15th in the table with two wins, one draw and four losses, holding only a narrow four-point buffer over the league’s bottom side. Their away record this term leaves plenty to be desired too: they have only picked up one solitary win alongside two defeats on their travels, and have yet to lock in consistent, reliable rhythm when playing away from home. Malaga have stretched their winless run across all competitions to 9 games, with very underwhelming match-winning performances. They have secured just 1 victory in their last 10 home outings, with 8 of those fixtures ending in draws. Espanyol have b

Fresh off their promotion to La Liga this term, Malaga have struggled badly to find their footing across the opening seven rounds of fixtures. They are yet to record a single win, with 3 draws and 4 losses to their name, and their paltry 3 goals scored so far makes them the weakest attacking side in the Spanish top flight. Their issue does not lie in ball retention, but in the lack of consistent finishing once they push play into the final third, with goals from open play proving especially hard to come by. Across their 3 home outings so far, they have posted 2 draws and 1 loss, showing solid enough defensive resilience, but are yet to turn their home advantage into three points. Worse still, their squad has been hit hard by absences: Murillo, Ochoa, Llovet and Cahuet are all sidelined, while Salinas cannot feature against his former club due to a contractual clause, leaving their already thin midfield and defensive ranks stretched to the absolute limit. The return of the recovered Cal
