The Numancia will receive Málaga with the aim of adding another three points that put them in that promotion play-off zone.
Soria’s are 8th with 25 points, 1 of the playoffs that Zaragoza marks.
The defeat this weekend in his visit to Almeria (2-0) cut a streak of 5 straight games without losing, with 3 wins and 2 draws.
However, as locals it seems not to lose that strength, being the Alcorcón (J1) and Zaragoza (J11) the only two teams capable of winning in Los Pajaritos. Mirandés, Huesca, Elche, Fuenlabrada, Lugo, Albacete and Rayo have also passed through there, and only Elche and Rayo managed to score. Therefore: 5V, 2E and 2D (17 points) that allow Numancia to be the 5th best place, with 11 goals in their favor and only 6 against.
Before them, a Malaga that does not go through its best moment. 19th in the relegation zone, with 16 points, already linking 4 days without winning: defeats against Ponferradina and Alcorcón at home, and draws against Elche and Fuenlabrada at home. His only two victories away from home have been against Racing (J1) and Deportivo (J12), both in full struggle not to go down to 2ªB as well. The rest, you overthrow against Girona, Albacete and Huesca that, added to the previous ones, leave Málaga as the 10th worst visitor with 8 points of 27 possible (2V, 2E and 6D).
Both have the need to win to get closer to their respective goals, but I think that the strength of Numancia at home will tighten so that those of Soria get back into those playoff positions, knowing that there are matches like Zaragoza-Girona (6th vs. 5th) ) that can leave them among the first 6 of Second one more day.
