On Saturday afternoon, Las Palmas and Girona go head-to-head at the Estadio de Gran Canaria in La Liga as the visitors look to move closer to clinching a Champions League spot.
Las Palmas looking to end torrid La Liga runAfter a promising start to their La Liga campaign, the Islander's season looks to be petering out. A 4-1 defeat at Celta Vigo last time out means that Garcia Pimienta’s team are winless in eight Liga games.
The result also means that they have suffered five straight defeats in the Spanish top-flight.
Las Palmas are currently in 13th place in the table, 12 points clear of the relegation zone and 11 points adrift of the league’s European spots.
They have a poor recent home record in La Liga. They are winless in their last four matches and have suffered three consecutive home defeats in the Spanish top-flight.
The Islander’s main issue of late on home soil has been a lack of goals, having failed to score in their last three home matches.
Girona looking to clinch a Champions League spotAfter a 4-1 home win over Cadiz, the Catalan team is in third place in La Liga, ten points clear of fifth-place Athletic Club in the race for the Champions League spot.
Michel’s team has been the definition of inconsistent lately, winning three and losing three of their last six games in the Spanish top flight.
Girona’s achilles heel lately has been their away form in La Liga, as they have suffered five straight defeats on their travels in the Spanish top-flight.
Their recent away games in the Spanish top-flight have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight away games in La Liga.
What am I backing?Las Palmas has been poor on home soil, while Girona has been poor travellers. The bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored, as the home team has struggled for goals, while Girona’s away games haven’t been the highest-scoring of late.
