Salva Ballesta’s boys are determined to remain in the fight for the group top spot, following a 1-1 draw against current leaders, Linares Deportivo last week.  Mosquera and Rufo, who are recovering from injury, and Ernesto Cornejo, suspended following a double yellow card in the last match, are the only players unavailable to the coach for this game.
 
Jaime Molina’s Marbella FC drew 1-1 with Español del Alquián last week. During the first round match, Marbella defeated Atlético Malagueño by 0-2, thanks to goals from former ‘Malaguista’, Nereo, and Cádiz-born Sergio with a penalty.  The pitch at Marbella’s municipal ground was reseeded at the beginning of the week, so should be in optimum condition for this match.
 
At. Malagueño line-up: Toni, Sergio (goalkeepers), Jurado, Alberto, Álex Portillo, Cris Tissone (defence), Marrufo, Deco, Rafa de Vicente, Pablo, Joel (midfield), Samu Castillejo, Juanpi, Mauri, Pedro Mérida and Zalea (strikers).
