Team News

Athletic Club
Las Palmas
  • Benat Prados could keep his spot in midfield given his impressive performance in Athletic Club's 2-0 victory over Atleti. Mikel Vesga will return for midweek, though.
  • Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta has a knock so Mikel Vesga could well slot into the pivot with Prados against Las Palmas.
  • Kirian Rodriguez is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards, so the captain will have to sit this one out.
  • Key players Julian Araujo and Fabio Gonzalez are both injured until the New Year. Las Palmas will be at a disadvantage without them for sure.
  • Pejino should keep his place on the right wing, having scored in the 1-1 draw with Cadiz on the weekend.

Prediction

  • Athletic are flying going into this one against a surprise package in Las Palmas on Wednesday evening. The hosts are unbeaten in seven games with key forwards Inaki Williams and Gorka Guruzeta having scored 16 goals between them so far in La Liga.
  • Las Palmas could move into seventh place with an unlikely victory, while Athletic Club would go level on points with Barcelona if they win and the Blaugrana fail to beat Almeria.
  • Interestingly, Athletic have only beaten Las Palmas once, but thanks to the fresh injuries to Julian Araujo and Alberto Moleiro, the visitors are significantly weakened going into this important fixture.
