The Segunda Division continues this weekend and will see Las Palmas host Malaga at the Gran Canaria on Friday night.
Las Palmas are in good form at the moment and have begun a late push for the promotion playoffs. They held first-place Eibar to a 2-2 draw earlier this month before playing out a 1-1 draw against UD Ibiza after an end-to-end affair at the Estadi Can Misses.
The home side now sit eighth in the league table, with 55 points from 37 games. They are five points behind the playoff spots with five games to go and will be looking to reduce that gap on Friday.
Malaga, on the other hand, are struggling for results and could soon find themselves in a late battle for survival. They were beaten 3-1 by Eibar in their last game, with their early lead being extinguished after going down to 10 men just after the half-hour mark.
Malaga sit 18th in the Segunda Division with 41 points. They are seven points above the drop zone and will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend to pull further clear.
