Saturday, 01/07/2017, at 15:30, Las Palmas meets Gijon, in a match of round number 17 of La Liga. The match is live on Digi Sport 1.
Las Palmas makes an acceptable season, being 10th place at the moment with 21 points and +2 in the right goal difference. Boateng and his colleagues had no luck at all in the last round, when they went on “Vicente Calderon” from where they returned without points after the defeat in front of Atletico Madrid score 0-1. Everything began with a defeat and Las Palmas in 2017 against the same opponent, but in the King’s Cup and another score was 0-2. A somewhat surprising result because Las Palmas performed at home, where they are unbeaten this season in La Liga, contriving beds wins and four draws in eight meetings, achieving good results in front of teams like Real Madrid or Athletic Bilbao.
Info lot: Las Palmas has all qualifying group for this game.

On the other side, Gijon is an easy opponent, at least this time you do not evolve at all scary. So after a year in La Liga ended with a defeat 1-3 with Villarreal, it was eliminated in sixteenths score 2-5 King’s Cup in general, by Eibar. Ranked 18th with 12 points, Gijon is the weakest opponent on foreign land, a place where he failed to win so far accumulated just two points, following draws against teams such as Granada (0-0) and Alaves (0 -0).
Info lot: Carlos Castro is injured and Fernando Amorebieta is suspended.
Probable teams:
Las Palmas (4-3-3): Varas – Macedo – Bigas – Garcia – Lopes – Gomez – Mesa – Viera – Tana – Livaja – Boateng
Gijon (5-4-1): Cuellar – Douglas – Babin – Rodriguez – Apples – Lopez – Carmona – Alvarez – Rachid – Gomez – Cop
Las Palmas has the home court advantage and I think it is more likely to exploit, so try to be closer to the European Cup places.
Tip: Las Palmas to win
Stake: 8/10
Odds: 1.65 at bet365
