Las Palmas vs Deportivo La Coruna Preview

Las Palmas will be without the suspended Kevin Prince-Boateng, so Marko Livaja looks nailed on to start up-front and will be looking to improve on his tally of 4 goals so far this season. Dani Castellano and Pedro Bigas are expected to return from injury to give the defence a real boost, with Mauricio Lemos also shaking off a knock. David Garcia is out injured and Vicente should continue in midfield ahead of Mateo.

Deportivo will welcome Juanfran back from a suspension and he should depose Laure at right-back. Alejandro Arribas should get the nod ahead of Raul Albentosa at the heart of the defence, with Fernando Navarro continuing at left-back. Carles Gil and Bruno Gama are struggling with injuries and Faycal Fajr is on international duty, leaving Marlos Moreno as the only viable option on the right-wing.

Las Palmas vs Deportivo La Coruna Prediction

Las Palmas can put a line through their heavy defeat in Barcelona, a match that they were not realistically expected to win. That came on the back of a spirited effort against Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey, when they made their more illustrious opponents pull out all of the stops to go through on aggregate. The hosts are in a safe mid table position heading into this match and will be confident of getting 3 points now back in calmer waters.

Deportivo have tended to find the net this season, so the goalless draw against Villarreal came as something of a surprise. They’ve now drawn four successive games in all competitions and are falling in the table as a result. Depor are 6 points from the drop-zone but one of the chasing pack has a game in hand, so they won’t want to drop points here.

Las Palmas don’t have a great record against Deportivo but will be confident of succeeding this time around. They are unbeaten in their last thirteen La Liga home matches while the visitors have failed to win their last nine on the road. This has the makings of an entertaining game which the home side should win.
