Match Preview
Luis Garcia has his men playing some incredibly resilient football lately. They truly shine at the Estadio de Gran Canaria, boasting a massive four game home winning streak. With that kind of momentum, you have to wonder if anyone can stop them right now.
They will heavily rely on Jese up front today. With seven goals and an average of 0.49 goals per 90 minutes, he is an absolute constant threat. Expect him to test the keeper early and often. Will he find the magic touch again?
Injuries are definitely playing a part though. Las Palmas will be missing Enzo Loiodice in midfield and J Recoba is out for the season. Despite these absences, the squad remains extremely competitive. It just means others need to step up to the plate.
As for Igor Oca and his Leganes side, they are proving to be quite a stubborn outfit. They have picked up eight points from their last five fixtures. That kind of grit is vital when traveling to an island fortress like Gran Canaria.
Sadly, they are missing a crucial attacking piece today. Alex Millan is suspended, leaving a massive gap in their forward line. Gonzalo Melero, who has bagged five goals this campaign, must step into the spotlight. He averages 0.41 goals per 90 minutes.
Leganes also have to deal with defensive absences, including R Pena and J Saenz. That puts immense pressure on Soriano in goal. Can they hold off the home onslaught? Keep these factors in mind when considering your Las Palmas vs Leganes Prediction and Betting Tips.

Prediction
Las Palmas to Win @1.68
Las Palmas has been absolutely dominant at the Estadio de Gran Canaria recently. They currently hold a fantastic six game unbeaten run in front of their own supporters. Furthermore, their defense is rock solid, conceding an average of just 0.67 goals per match at home. This makes them incredibly tough to break down for any visiting side trying to steal points today.
On the flip side, Leganes struggles to consistently find the back of the net when traveling. They average a mere 1.06 goals per away match and only generate 10.22 shots per game overall. Compounding their issues is the suspension of key forward Alex Millan. Without their primary attacking outlet, breaching the resilient Las Palmas backline seems highly unlikely this evening.
