Girona fight Las Palmas for prestige and victory.

Insights:
  • Girona have the the best goal difference (+3) at home in La Liga

These teams have little in common geographically as Las Palmas have to travel 2500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
