The Málaga team faces the last four rounds of the regular season with their sights set on direct promotion or, at least, securing their spot in the play-offs. After an important victory in Ipurúa, the squad approaches this match with high morale and the full support of their fans.
The schedule seems to offer a breather for Funes's team, as their direct rivals will play away this week, while Málaga CF will play at home. This situation represents an advantage that the team will seek to maximize to consolidate its position in the standings.
“"Everything we do is to excite the fans, and no one here will fail."
La Rosaleda is preparing for an exceptional atmosphere, with hardly any tickets left for the match. It is expected to surpass the 29,000 spectator mark, a figure not reached since the promotion play-off against Nàstic de Tarragona. Additionally, the team could see the return of important players like Dani Lorenzo, who was injured on April 1st, and other footballers who had been dealing with discomfort.
Meanwhile, Sporting de Gijón arrives at the match with the news that their coach has decided not to continue next season, despite having a contract. Although the Gijón team has no objectives at stake, they are expected to offer a good level of competitiveness in Martiricos.
