Real Madrid vs. Malaga Live Stream Free Online: Los Blancos Face Potential Trap Game

The blood has dried up. The wounds have been healed. Now, Real Madrid will look to move past Wednesday's Madrid Derby and refocus on the league campaign. The clash between Real Madrid and Malaga is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on beIN Sports.

The Stage

No disrespect to Malaga, but they aren't Atletico Madrid and this isn't Wednesday. That, undoubtedly, is where Real Madrid's focus remains following Tuesday's scoreless draw at the Vicente Calderon; however, it's Carlo Ancelotti's responsibility to ensure his men remain focused at the task at hand.

Only two points separate Real Madrid from another La Liga title. Looking past the threat Malaga poses would only see that deficit increase.

Be wary of the trap game.

The In-Form Player

No, Gareth Bale isn't in form. If he was, he would've buried his opportunity in the first half of Tuesday's contest. With an injury to Karim Benzema (knee), however, Ancelotti will be forced to transition to a more-favored 4-4-2 system with Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo as the point men. A more attack-minded role will allow Bale to improve on his 13 goals and seven assists this campaign.

Projected Lineups

Malaga (4-2-3-1): Kameni; Boka, Sanchez, Angeleri, Rosales; Recio, Darder; Castillejo, Amrabat, Samuel; Juanmi

Real Madrid (4-4-2): Casillas; Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos, Carvajal; James, Kroos, Modric, Isco; Ronaldo, Bale
