Las Palmas vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
For relegation candidate Las Palmas are in fact all remaining championship matches, because Saturday afternoon at home against Sevilla, the island club only has victory. Sevilla hunts Champions League football, but is also burdened by a heavy program.
Las Palmas :
With only eighteen points and eighteenth place, Las Palmas is still in acute degradation distress, but it seems that the proverbial gif cup of the island club is almost empty. El Submarino Amarillo kept seven points on its last four rounds of play and has done much better in recent weeks than its direct competitors. A few weeks ago, Las Palmas seemed to be doomed, but now the difference with the safe seventeenth place is only two points. Suddenly everything is possible again in the Estadio de Gran Canaria.
Last weekend, Las Palmas was able to win 0-0 at Athletic Bilbao. A remarkable result, because because of the philosophy of trainer Paco Jemez matches of the yellow shirts are often full of goals. For the first time since March last year (!) The island club managed to keep its goal clean. Jemez was obviously delighted, because there are very few teams that survive in the San Mames: ‘My players have fought like lions. We are well on our way. When I came, we stood with eleven points at the bottom, but now we have a chance of life preservation again. ‘
However, the draw against Athletic Bilbao is only really valuable if Las Palmas also manages to score points against Sevilla this weekend. The big question, however, is whether star player Jonathan Viera will still be there, because the Chinese Beijing Guoan immediately wants to take over more than twenty million euros. However, Viera himself doubts: ‘Everything is well organized and the salary is a multiple of what I earn here. If I were to receive this offer in June, I would immediately start. However, I also know that the club desperately needs me. ” The Spanish international grew up in Las Palmas and enjoyed his youth training at the yellow shirts. He does have a bond with the club, of course, although you do not get the chance to play yourself financially independent in a blow. He does not have much time to think, because the Chinese have already announced that they will switch to Celta de Vigo attacker Iago Aspas if he languishes too long. Without Viera, however, the chances of survival of Las Palmas are a serious dent.
Sevilla :
Last weekend, Sevilla once again scored a rare competition victory, but oh oh, what did the Andalusians have trouble with? At home against Eibar (1-0 win), Pablo Sarabia crowned himself a match winner immediately after the break, but it was keeper Sergio Rico, who went home with the Man of the Match award. The closing station more than compensated for its mistakes over the past few weeks by keeping visitors from scoring time and time again. Even a penalty kick fell prey to the Andalusian goalie. The fans chanted his name and the goalkeeper was even declared the best player of the 23rd round in La Liga. That is the beauty of football. One week you are the schlemiel, but a week later you can just be the big hero again.
It does, however, suggest that Seville had such a hard time against Eibar in Sanchez Pizjuan. We can now state that the coach change (Vincenzo Montella took over during the winter break the baton of the dismissed Eduardo Berizzo) has put little effort. It is that Seville is now in the final of the Copa del Rey, because outside the Spanish cup tournament the redwaters under Montella have not shown much. A possible cause is the crowded program of the Andalusians, who have played an average game every 3.5 days since the turn of the year. This week Sevilla did not have any midweek commitments for the first time in 2018, although the cracker will be waiting for Manchester United in the eighth finals of the Champions League next week. It could be that Montella will save some key players this weekend. Main candidates are attacker Luis Muriel who is not completely fit, and defensive midfielder Steven NZonzi, for whom the coach with Roque Mesa has a good substitute.
