UD Las Palmas will face Málaga CF this Saturday, April 11, at the La Rosaleda Stadium, in a vital match for their aspirations of promotion to the First Division.

The clash between the Málaga and Canarian teams, scheduled for 5:30 PM Canarian time (6:30 PM peninsular time), is a direct confrontation between two teams sharing 57 points in the LaLiga Hypermotion standings. UD Las Palmas holds the fourth position, while Málaga CF is in sixth, both within the playoff zone and aiming for direct promotion spots.
Both sides approach the match with similar form, having won three of their last five games. However, the Málaga team has recorded two consecutive draws in their most recent fixtures, adding pressure to this encounter. For UD Las Palmas, this game represents a crucial opportunity to strengthen their position and take a firm step towards stability in the league table.
The first leg, played at the Estadio de Gran Canaria, ended in a narrow victory for Málaga CF, thanks to a goal from Rafa Rodríguez. Now, the 'pío-pío' team will seek revenge at La Rosaleda, with the possibility of closing the gap to the second direct promotion spot, which could be just one point away if other results go their way.
