Las Palmas form and stats

32 points is a decent return from 16 La Liga 2 games here at Estadio de Gran Canaria for Las Palmas. The data says 9 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses.

In their previous game, the manager Pimienta led his Las Palmas to a defeat away at Tenerife (after extra-time). The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio de Gran Canaria.

González dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 49 successful passes (of 54 total).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Palmas matches with similar probabilities have ended with 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats (from 9 games).
