After picking up back-to-back wins, including one against Barcelona, Malaga came crashing back down to earth with a 2-0 loss against Deportivo last week.
Michel’s men have been hit and miss since his takeover as coach recently, while Valencia have been on a recent upward spiral under interim boss Voro. They’re unbeaten in their last four.
Valencia have managed to propel themselves up to 12th given their recent form, with Voro’s squad presumably now with their eyes set firmly on a top-half finish, comes the end of the season.
In three of their last four league games, Los Che have found the back of the net on three occasions, with the likes of Simone Zaza and Santi Mina getting in on the goals.
Federico Ricca is back from suspension for the home side, who are unlikely to make too many changes from the sides that have picked up six points from their last available nine.
Valencia have been scored plenty of goals since the outset of March, even away from home, with Malaga bound to be asked questions on Saturday.
