Prediction: 1-0
Alcorcon
Malaga and Alcorcon go head to head at Estadio La Rosaleda in what is expected to be a close Segunda Division encounter. Los Boquerones kicked off the new La Liga 2 campaign with back-to-back draws against Mirandes and Ibiza, with the team eyeing their first win of the process. Luis Munoz, who opened his goal-scoring account at the weekend, is likely to keep his place in the starting XI, with teenager Roberto Fernandez pushing for a start after impressing in the draw with Ibiza.
Alcorcon, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to the likes of Ponferradina and Fuenlabrada. Los Alfareros have been struggling in front of goal of late, and seeing that Malaga are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the visitors are likely to return to the suburbs of Madrid empty-handed. The good news for the visitors is that experienced defender Laure returns from suspension.
