Malaga - Levante

Forward Chupe remains the focal point for Malaga as they look to find their rhythm in this matchday 4 LaLiga clash on 6 September 2026. Following a difficult 4-0 defeat against Real Madrid, the hosts are eager to rediscover the defensive stability they showed in their 1-1 draw with Deportivo de A Coruna. With Alfonso Herrero expected to start in goal, Malaga will rely on the midfield work rate of Carlos Dotor and Izan Merino to control the tempo at Estadio La Rosaleda. The side is searching for a spark to ignite their campaign after a challenging start to the season.

Levante travel to the coast buoyed by a resounding 5-2 victory over Real Betis, a result that showcased their attacking potency. With Ivan Romero leading the line, the visitors will aim to exploit the space behind the Malaga defensive unit. While Levante suffered a heavy loss to Espanyol earlier in the month, their recent goal-scoring form suggests they are finding their stride. The expected midfield trio of Thiago Fernandez, Jon Olasagasti, and Enzo Bardeli will be tasked with disrupting Malaga’s rhythm in what promises to be a pivotal tactical battle.
