Salva Ballesta’s boys arrive at this match just missing out on play-off positions, with 39 points, following last weekend’s away defeat by Español del Alquián.  The Blue and Whites need a win in order to stay near the top of the table, particularly against Martos CD who are a direct rival, currently in second place with 42 points.
 
Cristian and Zalea are still out through injury, along with Ernesto Gómez who sustained a sports hernia.  Álex Portillo is suspended from this game as he received two yellow cards in Almería.  The good news is the return of goalkeeper, Aarón following his right shoulder injury.
 
Martos CD drew 1-1 at home against Atlético Melilla last weekend.  They signed midfielder, Caballero this month, and following the addition of former Los Villares CF goalkeeper, Juanma, Jacob Torregosa left to go to Murcia for work reasons.
 
Tickets for this match are priced at one euro for Málaga CF season ticket holders, and five euros for the general public.
