Match Facts:
Las Palmas (12th, 16 pts)
- After being beaten away to Real Betis, the Canary Islanders are itching to bounce back in front of their fans. Quique Setien's men haven't lost in their last 10 games on their own patch, of which they have won five and drawn five – the last time the club went 11 or more matches unbeaten at home was between 1982 and 1983 (17).
- An interesting subplot: the two highest-scoring midfielders in LaLiga Santander since the beginning of last season will lock horns in this encounter. Las Palmas's Jonathan Viera leads the way with 13 goals, followed by Athletic's Raul Garcia on 11.
Athletic (8th, 20 pts)
- The win over Villarreal CF last matchday made it three league games in a row without defeat for Ernesto Valverde's in-form team.
- Indeed, the Basques have only succumbed in one of their last five domestic fixtures (W2 D2). That was a 2-1 reverse against table-topping Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
