Watch Malaga CF vs Real Zaragoza Live Stream HD Online 3rd February 2013 Spanish Primera Division BBVA League match against Real Zaragoza at La Rosaleda (Sunday 3rd February, 12 p.m.)
Malaga are enjoying life in La Liga after a healthy transfer season. The Andalusian side is ranked 6th in the league table and will have blood on their minds when taking on the Madrid-based club.
After their goalless away draw against Real Zaragoza, Pellegrini will have his charges gunning for victory. A host of changes are expected in the starting eleven for this match.
Venezuelan striker Salomon Rondon is expected to take the responsibilities of Malaga’s attack in this league fixture. The youngster will replace ageing striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who has not made the cut with his performances thus far.
Captain Jesus Gamez will start this game. Sergio Sanchez will take a place on the bench following Gamez’s return.
Defensive midfielder Jeremy Toulalan is a doubt for the match. He has a hamstring injury and faces a race against time to prove his match fitness.
Joining him on the medics table are defenders Weligton and Kris Stadsgaard. Young striker Juanmi Jimenez also continues to be out of contention.
Apono, on the other hand, continues his time in wilderness. The attacking midfielder has been told that he would keep warming the bench until he apologizes for his dressing room shenanigans.
Getafe CF News
Luis Garcia Plaza will be happy before going into this game. The Madrid-based team got their first win of the season against Real Betis and should be confident of achieving a result in this encounter as well.
The manager will be wary of the away form his team has showcased in the past: they failed to register an away victory before the half way mark last season. It is now ten months since their 2-3 victory over Almeria; El Geta have been woeful on the road. A win will propel them to the 10th spot in league, a respectable standing from their current low of 16th.
Adding to the tacticians problems are injuries that are plaguing his beleaguered club. As many as six players are out of contention because of injuries.
Plaza is without the services of first team goalkeepers Oscar Ustari and on-loan Miguel Moya. Second choice Moya has started all the games for Getafe, as Ustari suffers from a long-term injury.
Forward Adrian Colunga is back on the treatment table after one league outing. The striker injured himself in training and faces time on the sidelines. Experienced striker Danny Guiza is also a doubt as he is lacking in match fitness.
Young midfielder Pablo Sarabia will have to prove his match fitness to be eligible for selection. He would join midfielder Jamie Gavilan should he be unsuccessful.
Rafa Lopez and Tsepo Masilela are also unavailable for the encounter.
Prediction
Malaga should be able to win this match against the battling Getafe. The Andalusians should use their home advantage to tilt the result in their favour. Los Boquerones have won three of their last six games against Azulones. A 2-0 victory for the hosts is expected.
