Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio de Gran Canaria will host Sunday’s Segunda Division game between Las Palmas and Sabadell. The Yellow-Blues kicked off 2021 in style, with the team beating the likes of Espanyol, Mallorca, and Leganes, but they failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Mirandes. Las Palmas are eager to start a new winning run in the Spanish top flight, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Sabadell.
Los Saballuts are undefeated in the previous seven league fixtures, but home win should be considered as Las Palmas have turned their Estadio de Gran Canaria into a real fortress. In the first half of the season Sabadell outplayed Las Palmas 3-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. You should bear in mind that Pep Mel’s men are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground.
Highlighted Player (Raul Fernandez):
Born in Bilbao, Spain on March 13, 1988 Raul Fernandez is a 196-cm-tall goalkeeper who plays for La Liga side Levante.
