Las Palmas will host Sporting Gijon at the Gran Canaria on Sunday in another round of the Segunda Division campaign.

The home side have had mixed results in the league of late but remain in the race for automatic promotion to La Liga. They suffered a shock 4-1 defeat to Tenerife in their last game and were already three goals down before Alvaro Jimenez came off the bench to score a late consolation goal.

Las Palmas sit third in the league table with 58 points from 32 games. They are just four points behind Eibar at the top of the pile and will be looking to reduce that gap this weekend.

Gijon, meanwhile, have endured a rather difficult campaign and find themselves just outside the drop zone, although they remain hopeful of survival. They played out a goalless draw against Burgos in their last game and were perhaps fortunate to have picked up the sole point as their opponents created the better chances to get on the scoresheet.

The visitors sit 18th in the Segunda Division standings with 37 points picked up so far, and will be hopeful of adding to that tally here.
