Prediction: 1-1
Las Palmas
Malaga and Las Palmas take on each other at Estadio La Rosaleda in what is expected to be a closer La Liga 2 encounter. Los Boquerones did well to beat Tenerife at the weekend, with the team extending their winning run at home to three matches, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Las Palmas. You should bear in mind, though, that the Andalusians are after their seventh home win of the process.
La Union Deportiva, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-2 loss to Zaragoza, with the team dropping to 5th position in the standings. Las Palmas aim to stay in the playoffs berth, but beating Malaga on the road is easier said than done. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and, taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the cards at “La Rosaleda”. Benito Ramirez should sneak into Las Palmas’ starting XI after finding the net in the 3-2 loss to Zaragoza.
