The first match of the second half of the season sees the Blue and Whites sitting 3rd with 25 points. Their opponent, meanwhile, is 13th and second-to-last on the table with 8 points.
The match will take place on pitch HA 4 of the Ciudad Deportiva Fundación MCF where Héctor Díaz’s squad will aim to continue the positive momentum they ended last year with, six consecutive wins.
Despite their low standing in the relegation zone, Unión Viera have collected half of their points over the last two matches, beating CD Femarguín 2-1 at home and drawing 1-1 in their most recent visit against Granada CF’s reserve team. The squad includes former Malaguistas such as Pastora and Nazaret.
Málaga CF are just two points behind second-placed CD Sporting Club de Huelva, currently in a promotion playoff spot to the Primera Federación with 27 points. Leading the table and in direct promotion position is Sportextremadura CD with 34 points.
The Blue and Whites have strengthened their squad for the second half of the season, signing Málaga forward Alba Navarro this week. She joins an already potent attacking line featuring Alicia (8 goals), Arantxa, and Elena (both with 5 goals).
First match of the new year and a single objective for Málaga CFF: secure a seventh consecutive league win to cement their spot among the top three teams in the championship. Vamos, Málaga!
