Prediction: 2-2
Eibar
All eyes will be on Estadio de Gran Canaria when Las Palmas and Eibar face each other in the Segunda Division round 21. La Union Deportiva are determined to return to La Liga, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to turn the dream into reality. Las Palmas are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and you should know that they are eyeing their 8th home win of the process. One of the men to watch in the home team will be former Real Madrid ace Jese Rodriguez.
Los Armeros, on the other hand, did well to beat Tenerife in the Copa del Rey last 64. Eibar have been playing some high scoring games of late, and given Las Palmas’ attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Key player Stoichkov is back to the starting XI after he was rested in the Spanish Cup clash.
Highlighted Player (Sergio Araujo):
Sergio Araujo was born in Buenos Aires on 28 January, 1992 and, as expected, he started playing for his home-town club Boca Juniors. He made just 19 appearances for Boca in the league and he played for the likes of Barcelona B, Tigre and Las Palmas on loan in the past as well.
The Argentine attacker scored 25 goals in 43 appearances for los Amarillos in the 2014/2015 Segunda Division campaign and despite the fact that he was linked with a move to Celtic and Real Sociedad, the club owners managed to sign a permanent deal with the former Boca Juniors footballer.
