Levante vs Malaga preview - Deportivo La Coruna vs Mallorca preview - Pellegrini targets victory

Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini hopes his side can boost their hopes of Primera Division survival with a third straight win.

His side had looked destined for the drop just a few weeks ago, but back-to-back wins have seen the Andalusians move off the bottom of the table and to within a point of 17th-placed Zaragoza with nine games still to play.

Malaga now travel to Levante - who have enjoyed an even more impressive revival of late and Pellegrini wants more of the same from his team.

"I hope we can maintain our good level," he said.

"Three points would be very important and we would be very much in the fight to stay up."

Pellegrini believes 10 teams are battling to avoid the drop.

"There are 10 teams in it and none of them can relax at this stage," he said.

Levante moved up to 10th place before the international break with a 10th league win of the season - a 1-0 success at Deportivo La Coruna.

That leaves the Valencia-based side six points clear of the drop zone, but coach Luis Garcia says his players cannot afford to relax until survival has been achieved.

"If we win, we will be very close to achieving our objective, but there is still a lot of cloth to cut," he said.

"I want the players to be very switched on - they know what it takes to get where we are now and if they think we are safe then they are mistaken."

Levante striker Felipe Caicedo is doubtful, while Malaga defender Weligton misses out through suspension.
