Match Facts:
Malaga (9th, 45 pts):
- Following their reverse at the hands of RC Celta last matchday, Javi Gracia's charges are seeking to take leave of their fans until next term with a victory that would ensure they clinch eighth position.
- Malaga can go into their Matchday 38 fixture feeling pleased with a job well done. After a haphazard first half of the season, Gracia's men turned things around to steer themselves into the comfort of mid-table.
Las Palmas (10th, 44 pts):
- Las Palmas head to Malaga just a point behind their last-day opponents. Quique Setien has overseen a remarkable end to the campaign, lifting his side out of the relegation picture and into contention for eighth place.
- The clash at La Rosaleda takes on special significance because it will bring the curtain down on Juan Carlos Valeron's career. After announcing his retirement, the legendary creative midfielder from the Canary Islands is hoping to bow out in style by helping his boyhood club finish as high up as possible.
Don't leave Malaga without… first feasting your eyes on the city's cathedral, or the Santa Iglesia Catedral Basilica de la Encarnacion, to give it its full name. Considered one of the most beautiful Renaissance buildings in all of Andalusia, work began on it in 1528, but it was not completed until more than 250 years later in 1782. It rises up majestically at the edge of the Plaza del Obispo, a pretty square.
