With Jose Mourinho as good as conceding the La Liga title to Barcelona, Real Madrid will be keen to show they are still very much a force in the league when they visit Malaga.
Real are currently in third place on 33 points, 13 behind runaway leaders Barca, but only four behind second-placed Atletico Madrid. Malaga are a place and five points below Real in the table.
Real midfielder Luka Modric believes his side should take all three points against Malaga, if they play up to their potential.
"If we play how we are capable of I am sure we can get three points there," Modric told the club's official website. "It will be a difficult match, and very interesting for neutrals but everything depends on us and I am sure we can do it.
"Malaga have a very good team but we always go into matches to win and this one will be no different. Everything depends on us. I am sure we can win this match if we play how we can."
Modric also played down reports of dressing room unrest, insisting the entire team were united. "We are Real Madrid," he added. "The dressing room is very united. Real Madrid has always been united and we will carry on like that until the end."
The former Tottenham player, who has not quite made his mark yet at the Bernabeu, said it was a privilege to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world. "Playing for Real Madrid is something very special," he said. "It is a very big club, one of the best, if not the best in the world.
"It is a great feeling to play here and I am enjoying every moment. Everything connected with the club is important, there is a great atmosphere. I am really enjoying playing for Real Madrid."
