Prediction Mallaga vs Real Sociedad

la liga

Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini expects six tough games between now and the end of the season as the Andalusian side try to seal a place in the Champions League for the first time in their history.

The Chilean coach will be forced to start third-choice goalkeeper Ruben Martinez as Willy Caballero is injured and Carlos Kameni is suspended after being sent off in the 2-1 midweek defeat to Villarreal. Duda is also banned, but Martin Demichelis will return to take his place in midfield.

Pellegrini's men have, like many sides in the Primera Division this season, suffered from a degree of inconsistency, but he believes that is just down to the strength of the league from top to bottom.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's home game against Real Sociedad, he told the club's website: "There are six games left and the difference is very tight. We have to go game by game and try to beat all our opponents. Every team has good players and Sociedad are no exception.
