Team News

Espanyol
Las Palmas
  • Mario Hermoso is back from a ban, but Naldo is expected to be preferred at centre-back.
  • Jurado and Sergio Garcia could start on the flanks, with Leo Baptistao on the bench.
  • Aaron Martin and Javi Lopez should feature at full-back for the hosts.
  • Michel Macedo is back after suspension and will start at right-back.
  • Pedro Bigas is out with a knee problem, which should see Alejandro Galvez and Ximo Navarro preferred to David Garcia at centre-back.
  • Vicente Gomez could push for a start, but Paco Jemez has kept things quite consistent of late.

Prediction

  • Espanyol finally got back to winning ways last time out, with a 2-0 victory seeing them start their post-Quique Sanchez Flores era well.
  • Prior to last week, the Catalan club hadn't hit the back of the net in five league games, but against Las Palmas; Gerard Moreno should have plenty of chances.
  • Las Palmas' relegation was confirmed against Deportivo Alaves, with Jemez's side set to only play for pride between now and the end of the season.
