Third bottom play third top this week in La Liga as struggling Las Palmas welcome an in-form Real Madrid.
Real Madrid aren't going to win La Liga this term but have Champions League qualification all but secured. With big rivals Atletico currently lying in second position though, they will undoubtedly have their sights set on hauling them in. Zinedine Zidane may still choose to make a few changes here though with a titanic Champions League clash with Juventus lying in wait in midweek.
Las Palmas are in danger of becoming cut adrift at the bottom and won't be helped here by problems in defence. Pedro Bigas definitely misses out, whilst there are also concerns surrounding Oghenekaro Etebo.
Real Madrid have had their ups and downs this season but are ticking along very nicely at present having won 10 of their last 12 in all competitions.
Las Palmas are now winless in seven in La Liga, but have largely been performing with credit, recording a draw at home with Barcelona over this period, and only once losing by more than one goal.
Much will depend on the Madrid line-up here, but even with a few changes they should still have too much going forward for their hosts. Ronaldo scored four in his last League outing, whilst Isco bagged his own quartet for the national side in midweek. Ronaldo may be rested but Isco seems likely to start and we see the little magician providing the impetus for an away win.
Prediction: Las Palmas 1 - 2 Real Madrid
