Malaga desperately need points on Sunday, Mar 14 at 3:00 PM in the LaLiga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Malaga come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Malaga and Rayo Vallecano have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Malaga won 2–0.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Malaga a slight edge, but Rayo Vallecano are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
