THE LOWDOWN
LAS PALMAS
Las Palmas have enjoyed an impressive campaign this season but begin this weekend’s round of fixtures now sitting in the bottom-half of the table. Following promotion last season under the management of former Barcelona youth coach Garcia Pimienta, Las Palmas have spent much of the campaign challenging for a top seven and European spot in La Liga.
However, the Canary Islanders have really taken their eye off the ball ever since more or less becoming mathematically safe in Spain’s top-flight. They were hammered 4-1 by struggling Celta at Balaidos last weekend and that means they have now suffered five successive defeats and are winless in their last eight games.
GIRONA
Like Las Palmas did last year, Girona gained promotion in 2022. Despite being a relative newcomer back to the top-flight of Spanish football, the Catalans have enjoyed a remarkable campaign. They begin the weekend sitting tucked inside the top four and the UEFA Champions League qualifying spots in La Liga.
Michel’s exciting and entertaining men come into this one on the back of a much-needed 4-1 hammering of Cadiz at Montilivi. Eric Garcia, Ivan Martin, Artem Dovbyk and Portu got the goals for Girona after they had suffered two defeats in three matches before that and it does now mean they have a ten-point cushion in the top four.
THE TEAM NEWS
LAS PALMAS
Las Palmas have just one injury issue for this weekend as on-loan defender Julian Araujo remains unavailable with a hamstring injury.
PREDICTED XI (4-5-1): Valles; Suarez, Herzog, Marmol, Cardona; Munir, Loiodice, Perrone, Rodriguez, Moleiro; Kaba
UNAVAILABLE: Araujo (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
GIRONA
Girona have several availability issues for this week as key men such as Cristhian Stuani, Yangel Herrera and Savio are all doubts for the visitors.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga; E. Garcia, Lopez, Blind, Gutierrez; Torre, A. Garcia; Couto, Martin, Savio; Dovbyk
UNAVAILABLE: Casals (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Herrera (Injured), Savio (Injured), Artero (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Even when they were playing well with what was an easy on the eye style of football, Las Palmas consistently struggled for goals and a cutting edge in the final third. For example, they have notched just 30 goals in 32 games with only three teams managing fewer than that. They now face a Girona side that are full of goals and are finally looking likely to finish with a flourish so backing the visitors is the way to go for this one.
TIP: GIRONA TO WIN
