Malaga is closer to victory here. Their owner is Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani and he invested lot of money. Martin Demichelis, Sergio Asenjo, Enzo Maresca, Ignacio Camacho and Julio Baptista signed for Malaga past days and coach Manuel Pellegrini have much bigger roster. The fans can't wait to see the new players. I believe Malaga is able to use the positive atmosphere and will win. On other side Bilbao is in bad series. They lost from Deportivo La Coruna in the last round. In the meantime they were also eliminated from Copa Del Rey from barcelona. Plus, four players are out for this game - Aldekoaotalora Ustaritz is suspended, while Ibai Gomez, Jon Aurtenetxe and Markel Susaeta are injured. It is clear coach Joaquin Caparros will try to stay unbeaten at La Rosaleda, but it is also clear it will be very hard. Malaga won in the previous round against Sporting Gijon on road and I am sure the players confidence is high at the moment. Knowing that the tradition is also on Malaga side (four victories and two draws in the last six matches at home against Bilbao), I expect Malaga to win.
