Malaga host Burgos at the La Rosaleda in their final game of the Segunda Division on Saturday, looking to close out a disappointing campaign on a high. Ahead of the final day, Los Albiceleste have won 12 times in 41 games and languish in 16th in the standings with 52 points.
They had secured promotion from the third tier last summer and have remained in the second division for another year.
Malaga's last game was a 2-0 loss to Elche on the road, as late goals from Sory Kaba and Mourad Daoudi condemned them to a 13th loss of the season. While their defence has been stable compared to other teams around them in the points table, Malaga have been hampered by a lacklustre attack.
Trending
The Andalusian outfit have struck only 40 times in the campaign, averaging less than a goal per game, something they will have to work on next season to fulfill their La Liga promotion hopes.
Meanwhile, Burgos have struggled in the final stretch, losing four of their last five domestic games to slip to 12th in the Segunda Division. In fact, they've won just once in seven league outings.
