With almost no time to digest the possible excesses of Christmas Eve family meals, The Málaga CF squad resumes this Wednesday the 27th the preparatory sessions for a January slope that is quite steep in sporting terms.. Because Pellicer’s men, even with the infirmary full of names (which will force reinforcements in the new winter market), have three difficult league exits and at least two duels at La Rosaleda against very complicated rivals.
The Primera RFEF calendar holds in the coming weeks two consecutive departures, to the fiefdoms of Intercity and AD Ceuta. They are two rivals from the upper zone who will greatly measure the form of the Malaguista team. But between one match and another, the Málaga CF fans will remember great afternoons in the top category of Spanish football, upon receiving Real Sociedad in a cup clash at La Rosaleda.
Next, after the trip to the autonomous city of Ceuta, The leader of group II of the third division of national football, CD Castellón, will be in charge of paying a visit to the Costa del Sol. The fourth of the league commitments of this January slope also involves displacement. It will be to the Nasrid capital, where the always uncomfortable Granada CF subsidiary awaits.
Although those five games appear on the board, we must not forget that there could potentially be up to seven. It is not at all common that outside of professional football there are such a number of matches in the same month. But the factor that triggers this probability is that Málaga CF is still alive in the cup competition. In fact, If Pellicer’s team were to ring the Kings bell against a Champions League rival like Real, both the round of 16 and the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey are scheduled this month.
The eighths were set in the official calendar for this seasona for January 17, 18 and 18 (from Tuesday to Thursday and in single-match qualifiers with extra time and penalties, if necessary), while also during the week the quarterfinals must be held from January 24 to 26 and under the same formula of a single eliminatory duel.
To find out if Málaga CF expands the quota of five official duels for the first month of the yearbefore meeting Real Sociedad in Martiricos, on Sunday the 7th at nine at night, the footballers will begin to prepare from December 27 for the trip to Alicante to face Intercity.
The team that will finally host the Malaguista team in Orihuela, on Tuesday, January 2 at midnight, is two points away from the promotion phase positions to the Second Division. Follow in the wake of Recreativo de Huelva, fifth, tied on points with Antequera and Algeciras. It comes from having earned a point in the field of Real Madrid Castilla (3-3), after having beaten AD Ceuta at home (3-2).
Due to the reseeding of the grass in its stadium, the Antonio Solana, and the one used in the Rico Pérez el Hércules, The option of the municipal Los Arcos de Orihuela was the one assigned by the Spanish Football Federationsince both La Nucía and Eldense refused to give up their facilities for the occasion.
After the cup break, the blue and white team will cross the Strait to face the Ceuta team on Sunday the 14th at the historic Alfonso Murube (12:00 p.m.). The locals will have visited El Mauí just before, in the first match of the year, and against Antequera CF they will try to end the streak of four games without winning with which they have closed 2023. They are now ninth in the standings. It will be this match, unless Málaga CF manages to get into the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, the prelude to the duel at La Rosaleda against Castellón.
