Las Palmas – Valencia : Preview & Prediction
Las Palmas, in 9th place overall, can close the gap on 7th-placed FC Valencia if they win at the Estadio de Gran Canaria on February 10, and put themselves back in the race for Europe. Just 5 points behind Real Sociedad in 6th place, the island club dropped 2 points to penultimate-placed Granada (1-1) last weekend and will be hoping to make up for it against FC Valencia. In their last 9 home games, however, Las Palmas have recorded 5 wins over Granada (1-0), Celta Vigo (2-1), Atlético Madrid (2-1), Getafe (2-0) and Villarreal (3-0), and only narrow defeats to Barcelona (1-2) and Real Madrid (1-2) recently. FC Valencia are coming off a 2-0 defeat to Atlético in Madrid on their last trip, their 4th defeat in their last 6 league outings (Real Madrid, Girona, Getafe). Duro’s partners (10 goals) beat bottom-placed Almeria (2-1) at the Mestalla last time out, but were not outstanding in a match dominated by the visitors. The trip to Las Palmas promises to be a complicated one for the Valencians, whose results this season have been inconsistent.
