Las Palmas vs Leganes Preview
Las Palmas welcome back Roque Mesa to centre midfield after a suspension. Dani Castellano is still out with an injury problem, which should see Helder continue at left-back for the home side. With Sergio Araujo still injured, Marko Livaja should start up-front alongside Tana and Boateng, who finished off one of the goals of the season so far earlier in the campaign (see video above).
Leganes are still in the midst of an injury crisis with Alexander Szymanowski, Diego Rico, Robert Ibáñez, Serantes and Koné in the treatment room. Adrian Marin has recovered from his knock but will be short of match fitness. Victor Diaz will continue at left-back, with Alberto and David Timor forming a double-pivot in midfield.

Las Palmas vs Leganes Prediction
Las Palmas come into this match on a three game unbeaten run. They enjoyed a 3-1 home victory over Athletic Bilbao before drawing 2-2 at Huesca in the Copa del Rey and being held away to Alaves last time out. They are unbeaten in 7 home matches this season and have won 4 times in front of their own fans.
Leganes are without a win in three but did at least manage to stop the rot with a draw last time out. That 0-0 was preceded by a 1-3 reverse at home to Valencia and a 3-0 away defeat to Espanyol. The visitors have really struggled for goals this season and arrive looking to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat on the road.
Leganes have conceded at least 3 goals in their last 3 away matches and have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 La Liga games. Given the strength of Las Palmas on their own turf, I can only see this going one way. The hosts have kept back-to-back clean sheets at home and should have little trouble extending that run to a third match here.
