A demanding test for the La Liga leaders. Real Madrid travel to La Rosaleda for
matchday 13 with the aim of continuing their excellent run of
performances and results (8pm CET). It will not be easy as they will be
up against a Málaga side that has gotten off to a good start in the
championship and is yet to lose at home.
The fixture list is has no let up. Shortly after sealing first place in the group against Basel, the Whites will now play their third away game in a row in the Andalusian city. As well as consolidating the top spot in the league, Carlo Ancelotti's team could also achieve a first in the club's history: 16 consecutive victories.
The Italian coach has named a 20-man squad. Among the players is Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be up against one of his favourite opponents. He has scored thirteen times against Málaga. A win would make it 200 victories for the Portuguese man as a Real Madrid player. The list also includes Pepe, who returns after not traveling to Basel, as well as Real Madrid Castillla midfielder Marcos Llorente.

REAL MADRID AVERAGE OVER 4 GOALS PER GAME AWAY FROM HOME.
The numbers the Whites have
been recording away from home have been spectacular. Having scored 25
goals in six games, they average over four per match. Their solidity at
the back, which has seen them not concede a goal since matchday 4
in Riazor, also deserves a mention. However, Málaga head into this game
among the European places and remain unbeaten at home (four wins and two
draws).
Javi Gracia, who took charge of the team this summer, will be without a number of players, including two of his key men: Juanmi, who is injured, and Camacho, who is suspended. Even so, the Andalusians will be confident of getting a result from this game.
