Team News

Las Palmas

Central midfielder Fabio Gonzalez will be missing the match against Villarreal due to an ankle injury and so is their right-back Alvaro Lemos. Besides, Saul Coco the centre-back will also miss the proceedings on Saturday as he is called to the national team. Garcia Pimienta is unlikely to rotate his squad as they are in desperate need of points. The player to watch out for Las Palmas will be Kirian Rodriguez. The attacking midfielder from Spain has been in pretty good form this season.

Osasuna

The squad of Osasuna is completely fit except for Chimy Avila. The center-forward will be missing the match due to a calf injury. Apart from the injuries, their striker Budimir will be a risk of suspension as the Croatian has already received four yellow in this campaign. It will be interesting to see with which lineup Jagoba Arrasate decides to go into the match. The player to watch out for Osasuna is Ante Budimir. The Croatian center-forward has been in red-hot form this season. Budimir has racked up nine goals and two assists so far this season.

Las Palmas has lost momentum after losing their last match in the league. With a good outing on Sunday Garcia Pimienta’s team would want to solidify its position further up in the table.

However, it will be difficult against an equally resistant Osasuna who will be coming after good momentum after earning a big win over the week. Even though Las Palmas is coming after a defeat, they cannot be taken for granted especially after their last campaign earlier in the season. It is expected to be a cracker of a contest between two historical clubs who are looking to give it their all at this business end of the tournament.

Predicted score: Las Palmas 2-1 Osasuna
