UD Las Palmas strengthens its position in the top spots

UD Las Palmas, led by Luis García, is in third place with 26 points out of 42 possible.

What has happened?

Their last league defeat dates back to September 27, when they lost by a single goal to Almería at the Estadio de Gran Canaria (0-1). Since then, the yellows have only added points to their goal, which is to promote to La Liga.

Why is it important for UD Las Palmas?

The victory that meant the blow on the table against Racing de Santander allowed them to strengthen their position in the top spots. Along with UD Las Palmas, four teams are fighting each day for a promotion spot. The top three teams in the table —Deportivo de La Coruña, Racing de Santander, and UD Las Palmas— are tied on points with 26.

What comes next?

On Sunday, Burgos and Santander face each other at El Plantío in search of the three points, while UD Las Palmas hosts Albacete. Deportivo hosts Ceuta and Almería visits Butarque in a new pulse for La Liga. UD Las Palmas has already faced all the teams fighting for the lead except Deportivo de La Coruña, who will visit the Estadio de Gran Canaria in one of the last games of the first round on the weekend of January 11.
