Las Palmas take on the visitors Sporting Gijon in the round 17 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, January 7th at Estadio de Gran Canaria (Las Palmas).
Las Palmas found the balance in the second part of previous season and keep up with solid results this season as well. Clearly, the team won’t be involved into relegation battle is stick to their football. Las Palmas are one of two teams that haven’t recorded a single home defeat this season with four wins and four draws recorded in eight matches. The goal difference after 8 games is 16-8 which means the team averages two scored and one conceded goal per home fixture. However, we can say that the team were unlucky to let victories slip in clashes with Huesca, 2-2, and Leganes, 1-1.

Gijon side is in better position before upcoming match as the team isn’t involved in Copa del Rey and had more time to prepare for the game. At the same time, Sporting disappoint their fans this season as the team is on 18th position in the league. Last five matches ended with four defeats and one win over the league lowly Osasuna, 3-1. On top of that, Sporting have the worse away record in the league with 6-16 goal difference and no wins, two draws and six defeats recorded. However, only defeat to Atletico Madrid was thrashing, 0-5, in other matches the team tried their best to battle for points.
Recent head-to-head may mislead as the teams have one win each with three draws. However, five recent clashes at Las Palmas ended with three wins of the hosts and two draws. This season results suggest that Las Palmas should have advantage in home clash against 18th team of the league. In addition, the Islanders lost to Atletico Madrid their recent cup match, 0-2, and now the team can be focused on domestic league and try to take as higher position as possible.
Prediction for the match: Las Palmas to win.
