Vélez form and stats
After failing to beat Merida here at Estadio Vivar Téllez, Vélez has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
Vélez shared the glory with UD San Fernando in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0.
Ahead of that match, Vélez won a home game hosting Tamaraceite (2-0).Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Mensajero are coming to town in three days.
Las Palmas form and stats
Last season their Copa Del Rey adventure ended in the 2nd round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Las Palmas so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-4 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Las Palmas much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Vélez will be a tough nut to crack.

Midfield player Jonathan Viera was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.51/10. Viera scored one goal, hit four key passes and had 57 successful passes (of 66 total).
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Malaga's place.After this away game Palmas return home for a La Liga 2 game against Sporting Gijon. That game is only three sleeps after this.
