UD Las Palmas

DLLLLL 🔻

UD Las Palmas will be hoping for a better result after a 4-1 La Liga loss in their previous game against Celta Vigo.

In that match, UD Las Palmas managed 68% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for UD Las Palmas was Juanma Herzog (11'). For their opponents, Celta Vigo had 21 shots at goal with 13 of them on target. Iago Aspas (37', 76'), Williot Swedberg (39') and Tasos Douvikas (71') scored for Celta Vigo.

UD Las Palmas haven’t exactly had impressive attacking statistics of late. Their sum of goals equals just 4 vs opponents during the course of their previous six fixtures. In those meetings, UD Las Palmas have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 13.

Taking a look at their past results, UD Las Palmas:

• have not won against Girona FC in their previous 9 matches in the league.
• are without a home win in the past 4 matches in the league. That's never good.

Girona FC

The stats tell the story, and Girona FC have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 8 goals overall. In defence, Girona FC certainly have room for improvement. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily follow through into this game, though.

Leading up to this clash, Girona FC:

• remain undefeated by UD Las Palmas when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. An impressive run.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 5 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: UD Las Palmas

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the UD Las Palmas gaffer Francisco García Pimienta to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group. Julián Araujo (Hamstring injury) will miss out.

It’s our opinion that UD Las Palmas should kick off with a 4-3-3 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Alvaro Valles, Alex Suarez, Saul Coco, Mika Marmol, Sergi Cardona, Javier Munoz, Maximo Perrone, Kirian Rodriguez, Munir El Haddadi, Sandro Ramirez and Alberto Moleiro.

ℹ️ Team News: Girona FC

With a completely healthy group ready to go, the Girona FC boss Míchel Sánchez Muñoz has no fitness worries to report ahead of this clash.

From our viewpoint, Blanquivermells might make use of a 4-5-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Paulo Gazzaniga, Eric Garcia, David Lopez, Daley Blind, Miguel Gutierrez, Yan Couto, Ivan Martin, Aleix Garcia, Yangel Herrera, Savio and Artem Dovbyk.

💭 Prediction

Our feeling is that UD Las Palmas might have a difficult job to be putting a goal past this Girona FC lineup who we reckon should manage to score & go ahead.

That’s why we have predicted a very competitive game with a 0-1 victory for Girona FC when the full-time whistle blows.

Looking forward to this.
