Las Palmas vs Deportivo Prediction 20 January 2017
On January 20 2017 at 19:45 in the starting game of the 19th matchday of the Spanish La Liga at the Gran Canaria the local Las Palmas play against Deportivo.
Even though Las Palmas have made a few mistakes in the starting matches of the current season, they are still the strong middle-peasants of the championship and the leaders of the league had some troubles playing with them. The loss to Barcelona 5:0 in the latest game was the biggest one in the year and the second one in the five latest games. Before that Las Palmas lost to Atletico 1:0, outplayed Sporting 1:0, drew Leganes 1:1 and Alaves 1:1. We must also admit that Las Palmas are one of the two teams which haven’t lost a single home game in the current season.
As for Deportivo, they take a position in the second half of the standings in the middle of the season. They are also 6 points above the relegation zone. The draw in the previous game against Valladolid 0:0 as the second one in a row and prolonged the lossless series of the team to make it 3 games long. In those matches Deportivo drew Espanyol 1:1 and outplayed Osasuna 2:0.
The statistics and the results of the previous games played between the teams show the advantage of Deportivo. They won three of the latest five games while Las Palmas won twice. Last time Las Palmas outplayed Deportivo at home was in 2001. Anyway, considering the lossless series of Las Palmas at the Gran Canaria which is already 4 games long, we think that the hosts will manage at least not to lose.
