Sevilla have managed to fight their way out of a poor slump in form recently in LaLiga, but Malaga have similarly been putting in encouraging performances of late.
Michel’s appointment as coach at La Rosaleda appears to have had a positive effect on his squad, with four wins from their last five matches telling the whole story.
The hosts have kept four clean sheets in their last five games and have found a system that works for them, with Sandro Ramirez causing lots of problems up front for Los Boquerones.
Sevilla, meanwhile, haven’t won on their last four away trips in the league, scoring just two goals in the process, with this weekend looking to be a tough ask to turn that form around.
Los Nervionenses will be keen to try and fight their way back into third place in the table and above Atletico Madrid, but Malaga are looking positive with their players looking to impress.
Sevilla have been better of late, but Michel’s men boast strong recent home form and their defensive record speaks for itself. Sampaoli’s side are unlikely to take away three points.
