Celta Vigo’s push to move away from the relegation battle will see them come up against Las Palmas this weekend in La Liga. The Estadio Municipal de Balaidos will host the matchday 32, which will have the hosts starting on 17th with 28 points and the visitors on 12th with 37 points. Celta are three points above the relegation zone and are coming off a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Real Betis last time out. That was their fourth defeat across eight league games, with only two wins and draws each. With Cadiz playing Girona, a win here for Celta could open up a six-point gap with the relegation zone. That could depend on Celta improving their recent home record. They have kept clean sheets in their last two home league games while winning four points, but that sequence was preceded by four straight defeats in all competitions at this venue.

Las Palmas are only two points away from ninth-place ahead of this round, but their recent downfall has been disturbing. The visitors haven’t won in their last seven league games, losing five and drawing two. In fact, they have lost their last four La Liga matches, all of which saw them fail to score. That is quite a fall for a side that at one point looked to be threatening the top-half sides. They still have one of the best defensive sides in the division, conceding only 35 goals. The problem lies at the other end of the pitch, where they have scored only 29 goals. To complicate matters, they have lost four of their last seven away matches in all competitions, winning only once.
