Prediction: 1-1
Las Palmas
Zaragoza and Las Palmas go head to head at Estadio La Romareda in what is expected to be a close La Liga 2 encounter. Los Blanquillos aim to escape the danger zone, with the team eyeing their first league win since December 6, 2021. Zaragoza are on an eight-game winless run, meaning that the lack of confidence could prove to be a big problem for the home team. Martin Vigaray remains on the sidelines with injury for the home side.
La Union Deportiva, on the other hand, aim to stay in the playoffs race. Las Palmas suffered a 2-0 loss to Burgos in their last league match, with the team remaining in 7th place in the standings. Since La Union Deportiva are desperate to return to winning ways as well, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Jesus Crespo should be the only absentee in the away side.
Highlighted Player (Alvaro Gimenez):
Alvaro Gimenez is a product of Elche football school who plays for fellow La Liga side Cadiz as a forward. Alvaro played for several Spanish clubs in the past, including Elche, Valencia B, Torrellano, Mallorca, Alcorcon, Almeria, before joining Birmingham City in the 2019/20 season.
After scoring only three goals in 24 appearances for the Blues in the Championship, Alvaro Gimenez returned to Spain at the end of the season, signing a deal with La Liga newcomers Cadiz. The Spanish attacker made his debut with the “Yellow Submarine” on October 4, 2020 in a 1-1 draw with Granada. His main position is centre-forward, but he is used as both left and right winger as well.
Gimenez’s preferred foot is left, and his contract with Cadiz should expire on June 30, 2023. The Cadiz attacker has three caps with the Spain U17 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team.
Highlighted Team (Las Palmas):
Las Palmas are a Spanish football club based in the Canary Islands. The club was founded on 22 August, 1949. Los Amarillos play in Spanish La Liga and the team’s home ground is Estadio Gran Canaria. The stadium was opened in 2003 and it’s current capacity is 32,150. Miguel Angel Ramirez is the club’s chairman and the club’s main rivals are Tenerife.
Las Palmas impressed in the 2015/2016 La liga campaign, with the team finishing the season in 11th place in the standings. However, it has to be noted that los Amarillos finished the 1968/1969 Primera Division campaign in second place in the table, 11 points behind Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Speaking of Copa del Rey, Las Palmas made it to the final of the Spanish Cup in 1978. Las Palmas eliminated Sporting Gijon in the semis (5-3), but Barcelona outplayed los Amarillos in the title game (3-1).
