The lead-up to #MálagaSevillaFC will be marked by the giant mosaic made up of 30,000 cards, organised by ‘Pinturas Andalucía’, who have been supporting the Club and its fans for many years. Precisely for this reason, and making the most of this special match for Blue and Whites’ fans, the stands will be coloured in blue, green and purple, representing the capital of the Costa del Sol.
Referee, Martínez Munuera will officiate the match between the Blue and Whites and Sevilla. To date, he has refereed MCF in seven First Division games, with a balance of three victories, two draws and two defeats for the Malaguistas.
Málaga CF and Sevilla FC have faced each other on 14 occasions in the elite at La Rosaleda. The results have been positive for the Blue and Whites, with six wins, three draws and five defeats. The last League clash at Martiricos was last season, 2015/16, which ended in a (0-0) draw.
