Las Palmas’ draw against Barcelona last week has boosted their chances of avoiding relegation this season. They head to Celta Vigo still in the drop zone, but there is hope for them and if they avoid losing, here again, this could be a turning point in their season.
Celta Vigo on their path are currently in mid-table and they are pushing for a place inside the top seven that could see them return to the Europa League next season. They head into this game with just 1 win from their last 5 games, but they have a good home record and that should help them here.
They have lost only 1 of their last 9 home games and they have welcomed Real Madrid and Barcelona in that period of time. They have also scored in all by 15% of their home games this season.
Las Palmas are improving, but they have collected just 0.46 points away from home this season and that record is second only to that of Malaga. The fact that they gave everything in their game against Barca, coupled with the fact that they would be without their top scorer and goal scorer against Barcelona, Jonathan Calleri may see them struggle to cope with Celta’s attack in this game.
They head into this game having scored in only 2 of their last 16 away games this season.
