Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Estadio de Gran Canaria will host Saturday’s football game between Las Palmas and Celta Vigo, the two out-of-form sides. La Union Deportiva are still eyeing their first win of the process and they have no other option but to leave their hearts on the field. Midfielder Javier Munoz is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while all Sandro Ramirez, Mika Marmol, Marvin Park, and goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen remain in the recovery room.
Os Celeste, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Spanish top flight. As the Galicians will go for a win in the round 9 clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Veteran Iago Aspas is widely expected to return to Celta’s starting XI after scoring a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Girona at the weekend. Both Jonathan Bamba and Mihailo Ristic continue to miss out with injuries.
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).
