Las Palmas vs Sporting Gijon Prediction and Betting Tips
Las Palmas will host another round of the Segunda Division Sporting Gijon campaign in Gran Canaria on Sunday.
The home side have had mixed results in La Liga lately but remain in the race for automatic promotion to La Liga. They suffered a surprise 4-1 defeat by Tenerife in their last game and were already three goals behind before Alvaro Jimenez came on to score a late consolation goal.
Las Palmas is third in the table with 58 points from 32 games. They are just four points behind Eibar at the top of the pile and will look to close that gap this weekend.
Gijon, on the other hand, has endured a fairly difficult campaign and is just outside the drop zone, although they remain hopeful of survival. They played a goalless draw against Burgos in their last game and might have been lucky to get the only point as their opponents had better chances of scoring.
With 37 points collected so far, the visitors are in 18th place in the Segunda Division ranking and hope to be able to add to this balance here.
