Match Facts:

Celta (11th, 38 pts):

- Last matchday's derby victory over RC Deportivo put paid to Eduardo Berizzo's side's four-game winless run in the league.

Iago Aspas heads into this fixture in fantastic form and in high spirits after earning his latest caps for the Spanish national team. The Galician attacker has scored four of Celta's last five domestic goals and has accounted for 37% of the club's total goal tally in LaLiga Santander. This is a higher proportion than any other player in the division.

 

Las Palmas (12th, 35 pts):

- The islanders haven't won any of their last 12 LaLiga Santander away games, failing to triumph on the road since beating Valencia CF at Mestalla on the opening matchday of the campaign. Their record on their travels in league action reads one win, three draws and nine defeats.

- Las Palmas are firing on all cylinders up front at present, having chalked up 12 goals in their last four LaLiga Santander fixtures. Six of those have come in their most recent couple of away encounters, in both of which they notched three times.

- A win at Balaidos would see Quique Setien's men leapfrog the Galicians in the LaLiga Santander standings and keep their slim hopes of European qualification alive. Unlike Celta, who could yet win the Europa League and book a continental ticket for next season that way, Las Palmas have no margin for error at this stage.
