Las Palmas form and stats

7-5-3 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga 2 numbers at home for Las Palmas so far this season.

The home team returns to Estadio de Gran Canaria after drawing with Huesca (placed 15th) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0. Lemos was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.8 out of 10. The defender Lemos hit four key passes and won 7 of 10 duels.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Lugo.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Las Palmas have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won seven times, drawn two and lost two.

Las Palmas have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio de Gran Canaria with 23 goals in 15 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 16 goals have been conceded.

Girona form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their La Liga 2 travels is 4 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats. Two points from the last two away games for Girona, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Girona go into this game after a win, the home game against Real Oviedo that ended 2-1. Baena, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.8. Baena scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.

A 1-1 draw at Leganés's stadium before that.

Girona are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, zero draws and four defeats. From a total of six matches.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Girona have scored 15 goals in 14 league games away. 19 goals have been conceded by Girona in these games.
