Team News

Granada
  • Abel Resino started with a win last time out.
  • Granada ended a three game losing streak with their win over Betis.
  • Julio César may start his third game in goal as Roberto is doubtful for this match.
  • Centre back Diakhaté may start this one after Senegal's early elimination in the African Cup of Nations.
Malaga
  • Málaga beat Sevilla 2-1 in the Andalucian derby last time out. The ‘boquerones’ played great football and were in total control despite playing with 10-men for over 10 minutes.
  • Playmaker Isco picked up a red card against Sevilla and will miss this match as a result.
  • Right back Sergio Sánchez will also miss this match after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season.
  • Rondón started against Sevilla and played extremely well, he should start once again here.

Prediction

  • Granada won their first Andalucian derby under Resino and they hope to earn their second straight derby win here against Málaga.
  • Málaga picked up their first win in seven games last time out. Despite looking most improved they face a tough challenge here against a good defensive side.
  • Expect an interesting derby as these two teams are more evenly matched than the last time they faced each other.
  • PREDICTION: 1-1 draw.
