An urgent blow on the table is what UD Las Palmas must give this Saturday, at 3:00 p.m., in Fuenlabrada, if you really want to start being that team that aspires to something more than to live in an anodyne transition season, one more year, when there are fourteen games left until the end of the championship Mel's men have settled in the middle zone with symptoms of a certain conformity, seven from the playoff.
However, curiously, to begin that necessary change of course, the first scenario that is presented to the island team is anything but auspicious, despite the low number of matches played historically between both teams, and it is that Las Palmas has only visited the Fernando Torres stadium on three occasions, two of them during their stage in Segunda B, and has never achieved victory.
The yellow baggage in Fuenlabrada lands is very poor, with two draws, the first of them to zero, in 2004, and the second, also to zero, in January 2020, plus a defeat, by a goal to zero, in 2005. In addition, the Gran Canaria they have not been able to pierce the meshes of the local goals on any occasion, but due to lack of arsenal, Mel cannot complain in the face of this Saturday's contest. With the great news of a Jesé who could already endure the 90 minutes in front of the Vallecano Ray and the return of Araujo, after serving a sanction, the people of Gran Canaria have almost complete artillery to turn around this strange curse.
His goals, arrived at this point in the season, are more necessary than ever, since the UD has only two in the last six league games, and four points from the last 18 possible. Numbers that, together with the goals conceded, 37, being the worst team in the category in this statistic together with Cartagena, they invite concern if you want to opt for something else. On the other hand, the yellow victory away from home has been resisting since last January against Mallorca, the only one of the course, and against Fuenlabrada it seems crucial if you want to take that step forward to fight for the playoff, which “El Bichito” proclaimed on his arrival. There are no excuses not to go with everything and change a dynamic that does not yield good data in the last days.
