Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Celta Vigo will be aiming to recover from a 2-1 loss to Real Betis when they face Las Palmas on Saturday. Os Celeste are desperate to escape the danger zone and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against La Union Deportiva. Former Osasuna forward Chimy Avila is back from suspension, while all Renato Tapia, Mihailo Ristic, and Joseph Aidoo remain on the sidelined with injuries.
Las Palmas, on the other hand, have little to play for in the season finale as they are stuck in the middle of the table and given the importance of Saturday’s clash for Betis, home win should be considered. Both Saul Coco and Marvin Park are banned for Las Palmas, who are on a four-game losing run in the Spanish top flight. In their last meeting in Galicia Celta Vigo recorded a 2-1 win over Las Palmas.
