Coach, Salva Ballesta cannot count on Alberto López for this game, or Paul Quaye, as both were sent off with double yellow cards in the last match.  Mauri is in the line-up for the first time this season after recovering from a torn anterior cruciate and meniscus in his left knee sustained in March against Marbella FC.  Atlético Malagueño is currently in eighth place in the group following two wins, two draws and two defeats, and claiming the first three points away from home thanks to a goal by Pablo Fornals.
 
UD San Pedro remains undefeated so far this season, and in the last match won by 2-0 against Atlético Melilla with goals from Salva García and Domingo.
 
Tickets for this provincial derby are one euro for Málaga CF season ticket holders and five euros for the general public.
 
Line-up: Cousillas and Aaron (goalkeepers), Cristian, Diego, Calero, Álex Portillo, Roy (defenders), Deco, Pablo, Mula, Ernesto Gómez, Ernesto Cornejo (midfielders) and Mauri, Rufo, Falu Aranda and Zalea (strikers).
