Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Malaga is 6.89, compared to 6.79 for Eibar. 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. Malaga's highest-rated starter is David Larrubia (7.31), while Eibar's best-rated player is Anaitz Arbilla (7.12).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Malaga have contributed 15 goals and 5 assists this season, led by David Larrubia (9G). Eibar's starters account for 20 goals and 11 assists, spearheaded by Jon Bautista (6G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Malaga deploy 4 defenders rated 6.63 on average, against Eibar's 4-man backline averaging 6.88. 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

Malaga field 3 midfielders averaging 6.97, versus Eibar's 5 rated 6.73. 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

Malaga start 3 forward(s) averaging 7.31, compared to 1 for Eibar averaging 6.65. 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 78% for Malaga and 78% for Eibar. 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

Malaga's starters have collected 16 yellow cards this season, compared to 32 for Eibar. 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

The average age of Malaga's starting XI is 27.3 (youngest: Dani Lorenzo (22), oldest: Luismi (33)), while Eibar average 29.6 (youngest: Hodei Arrillaga (21), oldest: Anaitz Arbilla (38)). 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

Malaga's starters average 21 league appearances each, versus 25 for Eibar. 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.
