They go into this game on the back of a three-game unbeaten run in the league. However, on the flip side, they have also won just once in their last four matches in the Segunda.
Last time out, Villarreal B drew 2-2 with Tenerife. The match ended a run of low-scoring games for Miguel Alvarez’s team, as their previous five games had all produced under 2.5 goals in the Segunda Division.
Villarreal B have an excellent recent home record in the Spanish second tier, as they are unbeaten in their previous ten home games in the Segunda.
They have also kept clean sheets in three of their last five home games in the Spanish second tier.
The team from the Gran Canarias are currently in the thick of the race for promotion to La Liga. Garcia Pimienta’s team occupy the second automatic promotion spot in the table but are only above third-place Levante courtesy of a superior goal difference.
A surprise 2-1 defeat by Albacete last time out ended a five-game unbeaten run for Las Palmas in the Spanish second tier. However, the defeat means that the visitors have won just two of their previous eight league matches.
Las Palmas have been hard to beat of late, losing just one of their previous ten away games in the Segunda Division.
However, they have also won just one of their last four league matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that these two teams will cancel each other out and that this game will produce a low-scoring draw.
