On Sunday afternoon, Las Palmas and Almeria will face off at the Estadio de Gran Canaria as the pair look to return to form in La Liga.
Defeat against Athletic Club continued their winless runA 2-0 home defeat against Athletic Club last time out means that Las Palmas are winless in their previous four games in La Liga. The game saw the Islanders concede at least two goals for the third time in their last four matches in the Spanish top flight.
Despite their recent poor form, Las Palmas are in ninth place in the table, six points adrift of the European spots.
Garcia Pimienta’s team has an inconsistent recent home record In the Spanish top-flight, winning just one of their last four matches on home soil in La Liga.
Their recent home games in the Spanish top-flight have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their previous three matches on home soil.
Almeria produce yet another draw against SevillaA 2-2 home draw with Sevilla last time out in La Liga was their fourth draw in their previous five league games. The draw means that the visitors are winless in 31 games in La Liga dating back to last season. The lack of wins has Almeria rooted to the bottom of the table, 14 points adrift of safety.
The visitor's recent matches in the Spanish top flight have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight games in La Liga.
Almeria's recent away record in the Liga is woeful. They are winless in their last 18 away games in the Spanish top-flight, including 12 defeats in the previous 13 matches on their travels.
What am I backing?Both teams are bereft of confidence because of a lack of recent wins. This could be reflected in a cagey and pretty even encounter. I believe this will be a low-scoring game, so the bet I am backing under 2.5 goals.
