Ferran Jutglà gave Celta Vigo the lead just before half-time but Málaga substitute Adrián Niño headed home in the 83rd minute to salvage a draw that the visitors' second-half effort arguably merited.

Málaga have not won in five La Liga matches. Racing Santander have conceded eighteen goals in five. Something has to give on Sunday.

Deportivo Alaves host Málaga on Friday night with form on their side and a fragile away side in front of them. This one has the look of a home win written all over it.
