For Malaga, the injury list is longer. Nordin Amrabat, Marcos Angeleri and Roque Santa Cruz are still out of contention with injuries. Fernando Tissone is also a doubt because of injury but Javi Gracia should not bother making big changes.

Prediction
Sporting Gijon have recorded just one win in their last five La Liga matches. Their sole win came away from home against Espanyol. With very little to separate them from the relegation zone, the home side would be wary of losing further points.
Malaga have picked their form to improve their position in the table. They picked up six points in the last three matches including a comfortable win against Deportivo La Coruna in the last round. The visitors have tightened up their defence and conceded just a single goal per game, on an average, in their last five matches.
Malaga could continue their good form and pick full points.
