Team News

Las Palmas
Espanyol
  • Tana should be preferred to Oussama Tannane out on the right-hand side for the home side.
  • Otherwise, Las Palmas should maintain the same XI that managed to pull off a decent result against Real Betis recently.
  • Ximo Navarro is expected to retain his place at centre-back, with Michel preferred to David Simon at right-back.
  • There are unlikely to be many changes from the away side, despite Quique Sanchez Flores' men struggling for form lately.
  • David Lopez has been struggling after fracturing his nose, but should be fit to start wearing a mask.
  • Victor Sanchez is expected to be preferred to Marc Navarro at right-back yet again for Espanyol.

Prediction

  • Las Palmas are really struggling of late, and still haven't appointed a new coach. Jorge Almiron's appointment was blocked this week by the Spanish football federation.
  • Home form is vital to their hopes of survival this season, and they will have taken plenty of confidence from a recent 1-0 victory against Real Betis. Against an organised Espanyol, however, they may struggle.
  • Espanyol have lost their last two league games, with the fans getting on their back a little in Cornella. Too much repetition has frustrated the home fans.
