Málaga - Deportivo

Málaga Club de Fútbol

After a tough defeat for the boquerón side against Atlético de Madrid, where you could see glimmers of what Málaga can bring to LaLiga, they face another stiff opponent in Deportivo de A Coruña, a club that, even though it has just been promoted, already has big names such as Aubameyang, Amatucci or Leo Román. However, Málaga need to trust one of its big strengths: its fans , who not only back their team in good times, but are also able to support them through difficulties. That makes such a standout fixture as the team's return to the top flight at home, in their stadium, a reason for any team to worry.

To take on this match, Juanfran Funes could again use a very similar setup to the one seen at the Civitas Metropolitano, although it will depend on the physical condition of one of the team's key pieces, Dani Lorenzo, who came off with some problems in his calves during the game. Still, everything suggests it could end up being a scare , as it may be cramps caused by the huge effort he put in during the match.

As for the absences facing Funes's side for this match, the names of Fernando Calero, Diego Murillo, Adrián Niño and Aarón Ochoa stand out again. All these players are dealing with different injuries, which will need to be monitored over time in order to anticipate their return in each situation. However, this list could be added to by Dani Lorenzo if, as we mentioned earlier, he is not able to recover in time from his physical discomfort.

Real Club Deportivo de A Coruña

After a hard-earned draw on matchday 1 at a Riazor tinted orange, the Depor travel to La Rosaleda to face one of their fellow travelers on their return to the elite.

Leo Román and Aubameyang are already proving to be difference-makers in the areas. If this team manages to mix the new signings with its solid base from last season, it could give us some great evenings of football.

As for the starting XI, Hidalgo is expected to repeat the formula that brought him such good results last season, with the introduction of Villares to push forward Mario Soriano and be able to carry out quick transitions.

The return of Yeremay is still a mystery; the physical condition of Angeliño and Loureiro will determine their chances of making the starting XI.
