Malaga vs Real Sociedad preview - Tissone wants more home comforts
Posted Monday, February 17, 2014 by PA
Malaga midfielder Fernando Tissone has challenged his team-mates to build on their victory over Sevilla in their last match at La Rosaleda when they host Real Sociedad on Monday night.
The Primera Division strugglers saw off Sevilla 3-2 and will be hoping for more home comforts after a damaging 4-1 defeat at relegation rivals Rayo Vallecano last time out.
That loss left Malaga just three points and one place above the bottom three.
Tissone told the club's official website: "It's crucial that we keep our concentration for the whole match and impose our style of play in order to get a positive result.
"We're going to try our best to win on Monday. Our fans are always behind us and we're determined to reward them with a home win after the last victory at our own stadium against Sevilla."
The victory, though, is Malaga's only one since Christmas and they could do with another boost ahead of a run of three games against direct rivals in the fight against the drop - Almeria, Real Valladolid and Osasuna.
Those are followed by a home game with Real Madrid.
But sixth-placed Sociedad are still chasing a top-four finish, even if they have plenty of ground to make up on Athletic Bilbao, with Villarreal in fifth also in the hunt.
The visitors are enduring a sticky patch, with one win in their last five games. They have not tasted success in either of their last two, failing to score as well.
