Sporting Gijon vs Las Palmas Preview
Sporting Gijon have just one injury concern ahead of this crucial encounter, with Lillo doubtful. Jean-Sylvain Babin is tipped to get the no ahead of Fernando Amorebieta at centre-back while Roberto Canella should start at left-back ahead of Isma Lopez. Duje Cop will lead the line and can move into double-figures for the season if he gets on the scoresheet.
Las Palmas have three players suspended. Kevin-Prince Boateng was sent off against Atletico Madrid while both Jese and Marko Livaja are banned for accumulated bookings. Vicente Gomez is expected to come back into midfield and Tana should also be declared fit to start on the right side of attack. Erik Exposito will be the focal point and Meteo will be fielded on the left.

Sporting Gijon vs Las Palmas Prediction
Sporting Gijon trail Leganes by six points with just three games remaining and have a poorer goal difference. Los Guajes will be as good as relegated if they lose this match and anything but a win will leave them relying on the team above dropping points. They’ve played well at home recently, going down fighting 2-3 to Real Madrid and holding Espanyol to a 1-1 draw.
Las Palmas look like a side that has downed tools as soon as it was confirmed that they wouldn’t be relegated. They’ve won just one of their last seven La Liga games and appear sauntering towards the end of the season. Having been so strong at home earlier in the campaign, the heavy defeat to Atletico Madrid shows just how much the attitude has changed.
Sporting Gijon need a result here and are likely to get a few chances against a defence that has shipped at least three goals in each of their last six away games in La Liga. The visitors have been woeful on the road, losing nine of their last ten away games. This gives Sporting a chance to get the win that they so desperately need.
