Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Almeria is 6.93, compared to 6.85 for Malaga. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Almeria's highest-rated starter is Sergio Arribas (7.44), while Malaga's best-rated player is Alfonso Herrero (7.13).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Almeria have contributed 50 goals and 32 assists this season, led by Sergio Arribas (21G). Malaga's starters account for 28 goals and 15 assists, spearheaded by Chupete (16G).

Defensive Solidity

Almeria deploy 4 defenders rated 6.78 on average, against Malaga's 4-man backline averaging 6.92. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Almeria field 5 midfielders averaging 6.98, versus Malaga's 5 rated 6.72. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Almeria start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.97, compared to 1 for Malaga averaging 6.97. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 81% for Almeria and 79% for Malaga. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Almeria's starters have collected 49 yellow cards this season, compared to 48 for Malaga. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Almeria's starters average 27 league appearances each, versus 28 for Malaga. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
