Las Palmas have 50 and 38 so far in the La Liga 2. Are we looking at a home win?

Insights:
  • Las Palmas have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Albacete have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a La Liga 2 match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sporting Gijon.

Albacete have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Las Palmas are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Albacete are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
