Prediction: 2-0
Las Palmas
Real Sociedad will look to recover from a 1-0 loss to Real Madrid when they take on Las Palmas in the La Liga round 34. The Basques are determined to represent Spain in the Europa League next term. Therefore, we are positive they will go all guns blazing at La Union Deportiva. Midfielder Igor Zubeldia serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Kieran Tierney, Hamari Traore, Martin Merquelanz, and Carlos Fernandez are sidelined with injuries.
Las Palmas, on the other hand, have been slipping down the standings week by week and given their six-game losing run in the Spanish top flight, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team, but defender Julian Araujo remains doubtful. Earlier this season the two teams played out a boring goalless draw in the Canary Islands.
Highlighted Player (Mikel Oyarzabal):
Intelligence is not an attribute you will find in Mikel Oyarzabal’s stats with Real Sociedad but this tricky winger is a highly knowledgeable winger who will use both brain and feet while playing. For a player born in Eibar, who made his first steps in his hometown club, it was always going to be a choice between Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad for Oyarzabal.
La Real saw their chance and grabbed this gem of a player at a young age, helping him develop into a proper professional throughout their youth ranks. Mikel Oyarzabal has spent the entirety of his senior career with the Basque behemoths where he’d use his ability to fill in a number of positions up top much to his own benefit.
Oyarzabal’s positioning and movement are work of a tactical genius, whereas it is his nous to find details to exploit that best define him as a player. Having come through the youth categories of the Spanish national team, Oyarzabal also has a senior cap next to his name. It was in 2016 that he also represented the Basque region, scoring on his debut to cap a 3-1 win over Tunisia.
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).
