Match Facts:
- There are dark clouds hovering over Valencia. Cesare Prandelli's team haven't won for six matchdays – since beating R. Sporting at El Molinon – and are raring to rediscover their mojo against Malaga.
- "We're committed to the cause and we want to make the fans happy." These were the words of Eliaquim Mangala in a recent interview with the club's in-house media channels, highlighting the squad's eagerness to claim maximum points in front of their supporters this weekend.
Malaga (11th, 19 pts)
- The situation where Juande Ramos's side is concerned is the polar opposite. The Andalusians have posted two wins in their last three league encounters, against RC Deportivo and Sporting, while the odd one out was a highly creditable draw away to FC Barcelona in which they could easily have run out victorious. As such, against Valencia they will be bidding to make it four LaLiga Santander games in a row without defeat.
- Javi Ontiveros is the name on everyone's lips in Malaga. The academy graduate shot to prominence with his stunning late winner against Depor last time out and will be looking to keep pressing his claim against Los Che.
