Málaga is gearing up for the inaugural round of the 2026/2027 La Liga against Atlético de Madrid, with a daunting task ahead of them. Currently ranked 12th, the team has yet to register a point in the league after zero games. Their pre-season form has been a mixed bag, with a 2-2 draw against Fulham in a Club Friendlies 3 match on August 12, followed by a 2-1 loss to Ceuta on August 7. Málaga did manage to secure a 4-2 win over Al-Arabi SC on August 6, but a 2-2 draw against Al Ittihad on July 30 and a 3-3 stalemate with Leicester City on July 25 have left their preparations looking uncertain. Despite their lacklustre start, Málaga's squad has shown glimpses of promise, with their 4-2 victory over Al-Arabi SC being a particular highlight.

The Madrid-based outfit, on the other hand, has been in scintillating form, with a strong squad and a proven track record in the league. As Málaga prepares to face Atlético de Madrid, they will need to draw upon every ounce of experience and determination to secure a positive result.
