THE LOWDOWN

LAS PALMAS

Coached by former Barcelona youth coach Garcia Pimienta, Las Palmas started this season slowly but have found a groove as they begin the weekend sitting in the middle-of-the-table. The Canary Islanders were beaten by a goal to nil by Real Betis in their most recent outing, last weekend, continuing their generally low-scoring habits.

The hosts’ opening 14 matches of the 2023/24 La Liga campaign have consisted of just 24 goals with 11 scored and 13 conceded. Prior to their loss to Betis, they had suffered just one defeat in their previous seven matches across all competitions. They play an easy on the eye style of football but are generally ineffective in attack.

GETAFE

Under the management of Jose Bordalas, Getafe have returned to their old ways of being extremely irritating to watch for the neutral and play against for the opposition. The home team managed a 2-1 defeat of bottom-of-the-table Almeria last weekend as they move towards the top seven of the table and even consider another European challenge with Bordalas.

That 2-1 victory over the Andalusians means that the capital city club are unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions. They have conceded just seven goals in those nine games with more than half of those coming in two 2-2 draws against Athletic Club in the Basque Country and Celta Vigo in Galicia.

THE TEAM NEWS

LAS PALMAS

Garcia Pimienta is without several key players for this weekend, once again, including attacking midfielder, Jonathan Viera, as Getafe visit the Canary Islands.

PREDICTED XI (4-1-4-1): Valles; Suarez, Coco, Marmol, Cardona; Perrone; Park, Munoz, Rodriguez, Moleiro; Munir

UNAVAILABLE: Curbelo (Injured), Lemos (Injured), Viera (Injured), Gonzalez (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE:

GETAFE

Getafe are without two first-team players for the trip to Las Palmas with both Mauro Arambarri and Enes Unal unavailable for Jose Bordalas’ men.

PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Soria; Suarez, Alvarez, Alderete, Rico; Carmona, Milla, Maksimovic, Greenwood; Mayoral, Latasa

UNAVAILABLE: Arambarri (Injured), Unal (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

It is not necessarily expected to be a Friday night thriller in the Canary Islands with Las Palmas’ tactical intent being to control their opposition with possession and Getafe’s plan being to frustrate their opposition by breaking up the play and being generally physical. Both sides are performing their respective gameplans to a decent level, at the moment, too, so if that is the case and both sides continue to be effective with what they want to do, a low-scoring encounter would appear inevitable for this one.
