Prediction: 0-2
Atletico Madrid
Thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Valencia Atletico Madrid melted Barcelona's advantage in La Liga standings to nine points and they will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they Malaga at Estadio La Rosaleda on Saturday afternoon. The capital club do not want to give up on their title dream and they are definitely capable of beating the rock-bottom side in Andalusia. Malaga, on the other hand, are having a season to forget and they are seen as main candidates to suffer relegation to Segunda Division. Los Boquerones are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday's football match against Malaga and we predict that the visitors will have a number of opportunities to score on the break. The Andalusians suit Diego Simeone's troops and seeing that los Rojiblancos emerged triumphant in each of last four meetings between the two teams, there is every chance the visitors will cement second position in the La Liga standings.

Highlighted Player (Roberto Rosales):
Born in Caracas, Venezuela on November 20, 1988, Roberto Rosales is a pacey full back who plays for Malaga in La Liga. Rosales started his career at the youth team of Deportivo Gulima and he played for his home-town club Caracas during his youth career as well. After making two appearances in the league for Caracas, the Venezuela international joined Belgian side Gent in 2007 and he played for De Buffalo’s until 2010. Roberto Rosales scored five goals in 72 games for Gent in the Belgian top flight and in the summer of 2010 he signed a three-year deal with Eredivisie side Twente. He quickly established himself as a first-team regular at Twente and you should bear in mind that he played 118 games in the Dutch elite division for the club. On July 9, 2014 Roberto Rosales moved to Spain, signing a three-year deal with Malaga and he has been playing for los Boquerones ever since. Speaking of his international career, he made his debut for Venezuela on March 28, 2007 in a 5-0 win over New Zealand.
Highlighted Team (Atletico Madrid):
Atletico Madrid are a Spanish team that plays in Primera Division (La Liga). Los Rojiblancos or los Colchoneros play their home matches at Estadio Vicente Calderon, which holds up to 54,960 spectators. Atletico Madrid have won 10 La Liga titles, but they have yet to lift the European Cup (Champions League) trophy. Los Rojblancos have won 10 Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) trophies and it has to be noted that they defeated their bitter local rivals Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 Spanish Cup final. The rivalry between the two capital clubs is pretty big and El Madrileno is regarded as one of the most exciting derbies in the world football. Atletico Madrid played two Champions League finals under Diego Simeone, but they failed to beat Real Madrid in the title games (2013/2014 and 2015/2016). However, the Argentine tactician helped Atletico Madrid win the La Liga trophy in 2014 and, no doubt, he is one of the most successful coaches in the history of the capital club.
