On Sunday afternoon, Las Palmas and Sevilla go head-to-head at the Estadio de Gran Canaria as the visitors look to secure their La Liga status.
Las Palmas’ recent poor run continued at BarcelonaThe Islanders head into this encounter on the back of a six-game winless run in La Liga, including suffering three consecutive defeats in the Spanish top-flight.
The home team’s losing run has been based on an impotent attack, as they have failed to score in all three of their three straight losses.
Las Palmas’ recent lack of firepower has resulted in under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five La Liga games.
Garcia Pimienta’s team has dropped to 12th place in the Spanish top flight, 12 points adrift of the European spots and the same number of points ahead of the relegation zone.
Las Palmas' recent home record in La Liga is poor. They have lost three of their last five home games and recorded just one win in that time.
Sevilla still not yet completely clear of the drop zoneThe Andalusians are in 15th place in the Spanish top flight, six points clear of the relegation zone.
Sevilla has struggled for consistency recently in La Liga, having won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six games in the Spanish top flight.
The visitors have been relatively difficult to beat on their travels in the Spanish top flight, losing just one of the last five away games in La Liga.
Sevilla’s recent away games in the Spanish top-flight have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of the last four games on their travels.
What am I backing?This is unlikely to be a classic, as neither team has exactly covered themselves in glory of late in La Liga. I think it will be a close, low-scoring affair, which is why I am backing under 2.5 goals scored.
