Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
All eyes will be on Gran Canaria on Saturday as two promotion-chasing outfits lock horns in what promises to be a closely fought battle. Las Palmas head into the clash in fine spirits after recording back-to-back wins over Real Sociedad B and Leganes. The hosts have looked tough to break down in front of their own supporters and will aim to build on that momentum. No fresh injuries have been reported, although long-term absentees Ramirez and Viti continue their recovery. Almeria arrive buoyed by a 2-1 victory over Sporting Gijon, showing their attacking quality once again.
However, their inconsistency on the travels is still a concern, especially against teams with solid home records. Dion Lopy’s injury at Leganes is another blow, though Gui Guedes is likely to fill the gap in midfield. With both sides boasting plenty of firepower but also showing vulnerability on the road or at home, a share of the spoils seems the most realistic outcome. Taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the cards at Estadio Gran Canaria.
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).
