Preview

Match preview

Malaga enter matchday four sitting at the bottom of the La Liga table with one point from their opening three matches, having scored one goal and conceded seven. They picked up their solitary point in a 1-1 home draw against Deportivo La Coruna, but enter this encounter dealing with multiple squad absences as J. Lobete, D. Murillo, A. Ochoa, F. Calero, M. Diarra, and A. Nino are all sidelined through injury.

Levante sit ninth in the standings with four points, lifted by an emphatic 5-2 home win against Real Betis on the previous matchday. While their home attacking output was strong, their two away matches to date have produced lower scoring tallies, including a 0-0 draw at Osasuna and a 3-0 defeat at Espanyol. Only A. Primo is listed as unavailable for the visitors due to a shoulder injury.

Encounters between these sides in Malaga have historically been tightly contested, featuring four draws in their last five head-to-head fixtures at this venue. With Malaga struggling for goals and missing several key options, Levante have an opportunity to take something from their trip.

Confidence

Malaga have managed only one point from their first three matches and have scored just once all season, exacerbated by a significant injury list containing six players. Levante come into the match in higher table standing on four points following a 5-2 victory over Real Betis. Even though Levante have not scored on the road in two attempts, their overall stability and Malaga's squad limitations make Levante avoiding defeat a well-backed outcome.
