Match Facts:
Malaga (12th, 42 pts):
- Michel has done a sterling job since taking charge of the Andalusians. Indeed, nine games into his reign, the Madrilenian is just one win away from equalling the six victories registered by the two previous incumbents of the La Rosaleda hotseat over the course of the opening 26 matchdays of the season.
- Sandro is enjoying a real purple patch at present, with the Canary Islander having had a hand in at least one of his side's goals in five of his last six league appearances (six strikes and an assist).
Celta (11th, 44 pts):
- Iago Aspas's goalscoring exploits this season have seen him etch his name into the history books at his boyhood club. The Spanish striker has notched an impressive 17 LaLiga goals this term, a return which is eclipsed only by Mauro Rodriguez's 23-goal haul in the 1955/56 season.
- La Rosaleda holds fond memories for the Vigo-based outfit, with the visitors recording their biggest away triumph in the last 15 years in a 5-0 romp on Malaga's patch back in October 2013.
