The Villarreal manager, Marcelino Garc\u00eda Toral, highlighted the difficulty of the Yellows\u2019 next opponent, M\u00e1laga CF, who will visit El Madrigal on Saturday (6:15pm CET). The Asturian manager was not short of praise when it came to talking about the Andaluz side, who concede few goals and even fewer losses. \u201cWe\u2019ll be playing against a team that lets in very few goals and wins a lot of points, so we know it\u2019s going to be very tough. Of the last eleven games they\u2019ve only lost two, which they did by a very small margin against Sevilla and Barcelona, two really difficult opponents. They have only conceded thirteen goals away from home and now they\u2019re more clinical in front of goal too which makes them even more dangerous.
