Real Madrid take on Malaga CF in La Liga, and the two sides are amongst the most exciting to watch in Spain.
Still, there is rather less riding on the match than might initially appear.
Looking at the table, Malaga are in contention for the European places, with a slim chance of reaching the Champions League and highly realistic hopes of finishing within the Europa League qualification spots.
However, thanks to their financial issues of recent times, they will be banned from all UEFA competitions next season, and so are playing for position and pride for the remainder of the season.
Real Madrid have more to play for.
Los Meringues need to maintain their advantage over city rivals Atletico Madrid, as well as attempt to finish within a respectable distance from El Clasico adversaries FC Barcelona when the campaign is concluded.
With Jose Mourinho’s future very much up in the air at the end of the season – and strong links to both confirmed managerial vacancies at Manchester United and Chelsea this summer, Real Madrid’s motivation for their remaining fixtures will be high.
Cristiano Ronaldo will seek his 200th goal for the club in his 194th appearance – a frankly ludicrous scoring record – and will be aided by the likes of Mesut Ozil, Angel Di Maria and Xabi Alonso in his quest for the milestone.
Malaga’s danger men include Joaquin and Isco, and will hope to cause an upset.
