EMálaga CF has increased its rate of points with two victories in the last three rounds, the problem is that its closest rivals have also pushed really hard. So much so, that the game won in Villarreal (1-2) It has not served to cut a single point with tenure positions. The blue and whites slept on Friday, 5 points from salvation, but the victories of Racing de Santander (Saturday) and those of this Sunday of leganes and the Real Oviedo they leave those of Pellicer 8 points away from being able to get out of relegation.
If Saturday’s results were disastrous for Blue and White interests, Sunday’s day was no better. He leganesthe team that had stayed just in front of the red zone won in stoppage time in The Toralin to Ponferradina with a goal from a corner kick from Sergio Gonzalez and also achieved an important victory that way. The people of Madrid are already up to 43 points, with seven days to go.
Then it was time to keep an eye on what happened in the Gran Canaria Stadium in it UD Las Palmas-Real Oviedo. And there the result was also very contrary to what any malaguista wanted. The Asturian team beat the Canarian team 0-1 with a goal from Borja Sanchez in the 72nd minute and also manages to open more gap with respect to relegation. those of beer they reach 43 points.
As it is, the team martyrswith 33 points, is again 8 away from remaining in LaLiga SmartBank. It has ahead of the ponferradinealso in relegation places with 35 points, and already out of the red zone at Racingwith 41, and at Mirandéswith 42. Behind the blue and whites are the Ibiza (29 points) and Lugo (27).
The permanence, therefore, is now set at the 41 points that the Racing de Santander, 18th. This figure is the highest that has been recorded in the last decade at this point in the championship, after matchday 35 of the regular phase. Last season it was precisely the Málaga CF the one who occupied the 18th position after 35 games, with 38 points, three less than what the Cantabrians currently have.
In previous years, the number of the team that marked the permanence with seven days to go has always been lower than the current one, except on one occasion that was also in the 41 points. In the 2020/21 campaign, the alcorcon he was 18th after this date with 38 points; on 19/20, the Albacete he occupied that place with 40 points; on 18/19 it was the Estremadura, with 39; on 17/18, the Cultural Leonesa, also with 39; on 16/17, the Córdoba He added 41 points at this point, the same as now the Racing; on 15/16, the Mallorca he was 39; on 14/15, the Sabadell marked the permanence with 36; on 13/14 he was 18th on Real Madrid Castilla, with 40; and on 12/13 the Mirandés marched in that place, with 38.
In other words, it is very likely that in order to maintain the category this year it will be necessary to reach the mythical figure of 50 points, or perhaps more. Málaga needs to sign 17 of 21 points in what remains to reach that level.
The Cartagena, sixth
The next meeting of Málaga CF It will be against a rival fully involved in the fight to play the promotion playoff.
