Espanyol vs Las Palmas Prediction & Betting tips
Espanyol :
Espanyol spoke this week reiterates its target of. “We’re going for seventh place,” said midfielder David Lopez. As city rivals FC Barcelona wins the Spanish Cup final which would place indeed be good for European football, but the recent results of the current number nine display with just one win in the last five rounds of play little confidence.
Last weekend, Espanyol lost 2-0 at Villarreal, a direct rival in the battle for European football. The Catalans then had to return home empty handed, but coach Quique Flores was proud of his team: “This was our best away game of the season. It could indeed fall through as playmaker Jurado his extraordinary opportunity it had been able to exploit. Scoring has been the problem all season for Los Pericos, which are the least scoring team in the top half with 35 hits. Striker Caicedo, the club’s top scorer last season, has now again taken into favor, but the Ecuadorian can not currently make a difference. Yet I see the future bright. Against Villarreal broke the blue whites with Oscar Melero, Javi Lopez, Aaron, David Lopez and Marc Roca in with five self-trained players in the starting line. That’s a rarity at this level.
Probable lineup Espanyol
Diego Lopez; Aaron, Diego Reyes, Oscar Duarte, Javi Lopez; Piatti, David Lopez, Jurado, Hernan Perez; Gerard Moreno, Caicedo
Las Palmas :
Las Palmas also still a tiny chance of seventh place. However, the island club will be just about all must win its remaining matches, starting Friday visiting Espanyol. Last weekend, in any case, the yellow shirts ended a sequence of five games without a win by beating last placed Osasuna with a whopping 5-2. “These five goals do good confidence,” says Paris Saint-Germain-mercenary Jese Rodriguez, who made his first two goals noted in the service of Las Palmas. Trainer Setien however, was not satisfied: “We won without playing brilliantly. ‘ Yet he will also have been pleased with the fact that his team in just five days scored as often as in the previous three months earlier together.
Las Palmas seems leak nice to have above. Yet it is still unsettled at the Estadio Gran Canaria. Trainer Setien namely is on a collision course with the board and seems well on its way to the exit. The board says the coach asks too much salary, but according Setien nothing true. To date this has had therefore no negative effect on the players, but I can imagine that the dressing room is concerned. Setien is actually the brains behind the rise of Las Palmas, playing excellent football at times. Outdoors the yellow shirts are often difficult, even giving the last game does rely on foreign soil. Ten days ago Las Palmas was at the Bernabeu until five minutes from time with 1-3 in the lead, but knew Real Madrid in the final still to come alongside.
Probable lineup Las Palmas
Varas; Dani Castellano, Bigas, Lemos, Simon; Viera, Hernan, Vicente; Jese Rodriguez, Boateng, Tana
