Las Palmas form and stats

Playing away, Las Palmas have won 4 games, drawn 6 and suffered 6 defeats in the La Liga 2 this season. Las Palmas are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Elche fixture.

There might be some fixture complaints from Las Palmas as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the La Liga 2 match against Sporting Gijon (0-4). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Malaga.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Sporting Gijon was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

The attacking power of Las Palmas when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 16 league matches away. Las Palmas have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Las Palmas - Almería 0-3. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Almería won five games, four matches ended with a draw and Las Palmas has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: seven / three
