Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Fuenlabrada and Las Palmas go head to head at Estadio Fernando Torres in the La Liga 2 round 29. Fuenlabrada are undefeated in the previous seven league fixtures, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to book their place in the playoffs. Important defender Antonio Cristian, who was sent off in the goalless draw with Lugo, will have to serve his ban against Las Palmas.
The Yellow-Blues, on the other hand, showed character in their last league match, with the team coming from behind to share the spoils with Rayo Vallecano. Las Palmas aim to move closer to the playoffs berth as well, and seeing that they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. The good news for the visitors is that experienced attacker Sergio Araujo returns from suspension.
