Málaga CF and The Rose Gardenthat indestructible pairing this season, meet again this Sunday, starting at 8:00 p.m. (FEF TV), for the dispute of a new Andalusian derby. Pellicer’s men, who have not yet known defeat at home, face Córdobaa dangerous rival that has become more as the days have gone by and is already close to the play off zone.
The blue and white team has so far proven intractable in their stadium. They have won all their home games except the last one, where they could not get past a 0-0 draw against Real Madrid Castilla. In addition, they have only conceded one goal so far in the championship in their fiefdom. This good work at home, together with positive results as visitors, has led Málaga to occupy third place in Group II of Primera RFEF, tied on 23 points with second – UD Ibiza – and just 2 behind the leader, Castellón.
Córdoba, for its part, is growing week after week after a hesitant start. They have won four of their last five games and that has taken them to sixth in the table, with 15 pointsand with a less contested match than most rivals.
The match is marked by the multiple casualties with which Málaga CF will have to face the clash. Ramon, Manu Molina, Luca Sangalli, Juanpe, Juande, Moussa and Victor Garcia are sure casualties, and Nélson Monte, the defense marshal, will be a doubt until the last moment due to an overload that occurred in the Cup match against Barakaldo last Wednesday. An interweekly match that has made preparation for the clash more complicated for Sergio Pellicer’s team.
The blue and white coach does not have many alternatives to configure his eleven. The question is whether Nélson Monte can finally be in the game -Pellicer has been optimistic-. Otherwise, Murillo would enter the center of the defense. With this panorama the eleven aims to be made up of Alfonso Blacksmith; Jokin Gabilondo, Nelson Mount (or Murillo), Einar Galilee, Dani Sanchez; Genaro, Dani Lawrence, Larrubia, Kevin; Dioni and Roberto.

«They are a very solid team at home, they never started losing. I was able to see a couple of games live. They are a vertical and punchy team“We have to be attentive to all these situations,” said Iván Ania, Córdoba coach, about Málaga CF in the run-up to the clash. «It is a game from another category, but the reality is that we are both in the First Federation. Surely, the field will be almost full. There will be our fans, for us it is an incentive,” he added.
La Rosaleda will once again experience an unbeatable atmosphere. About 25,000 fans are expected again in the stands of Martiricos, including about 1,200 people from Córdoba that they have sold out all the available tickets for the visiting zone. The blue and white fiefdom is already preparing to experience another Andalusian football celebration this Sunday.
