Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Girona will look to put an end to their three-game losing run when they take on Las Palmas in the La Liga 2 round 22. The Catalans suffered a dip in form, but this seems like a good opportunity for them to get back on course. Winger Bryan Gil is back from suspension, while all Gazzaniga, Gutierrez, and Krejci are out of contention with injuries. Experienced defender Daley Blind should recover in time to face La Union Deportiva.
Las Palmas, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Osasuna. La Union Deportiva are not regarded as good travellers and with Girona being desperate to return to winning ways, home win should be considered. Forward Benito Ramirez is back from suspension for the visiting side, while both Jose Campana and Viti continue to miss out with injuries. In their last meeting in Catalonia, Girona defeated Las Palmas 1-0.
