It could have been better, it could have been worse for Celta Vigo, who have two draws to show from their last three matches. They came up short in a 0-2 defeat against Athletic Club, followed by a 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad. They recorded yet another one in the latest round after a 1-1 match with Getafe. Celta Vigo claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the LaLiga. They also drew zero and lost four, scored seven goals and conceded 11.

Malaga Form

Malaga have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Deportivo de A Coruna, they gained a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Real Madrid, who ran out 4-0 winners. Lately, they finished even in a 0-0 draw with Levante. Malaga are winless in their last six away games in the LaLiga, in which they drew zero and lost six. They conceded 16 goals while scoring four themselves.
