Preview

Match preview

Alcazar host Malaga in the Copa del Rey Round of 128 looking to extend their cup run. The home side earned their place in this round through back-to-back victories over Talayuela, claiming a 2-1 away win before securing a 1-0 triumph on home soil.

Malaga travel for cup duty amid a demanding domestic campaign in La Liga. They currently sit 20th in the top flight, having recorded five draws and five defeats from their opening 10 matches while scoring seven goals and conceding 19. Their most recent outing brought a 1-1 draw away at Alaves, following a 5-2 defeat to Real Sociedad and a 1-1 stalemate with Espanyol.

The visitors must manage several squad absences, with J. Cruz, J. Lobete, P. Martinez, J. Munoz, D. Murillo, and A. Ochoa all sidelined with injuries. Despite these personnel limitations and a winless league sequence, the gulf in regular competition level remains the defining dynamic of this cup tie.

76%

Confidence

Malaga operate in La Liga, giving them a distinct qualitative advantage over lower-tier Alcazar. However, Malaga have struggled to turn performances into victories this season, remaining winless in 10 domestic league games with five draws and five defeats. With six players sidelined including J. Cruz and J. Munoz, and having already drawn two of their last three competitive fixtures 1-1, covering both the away victory and the draw provides a sensible approach to this knockout encounter. Furthermore, Malaga have scored only seven goals in 10 league outings, pointing toward a low-scoring match under the 2.5 goal mark.
