Gran Canaria prepares: UD Las Palmas could be promoted on Saturday

 

Thousands of yellow fans were watching television yesterday even though UD Las Palmas was already playing their match on matchday 40. The reason was to see what Levante was capable of, as they faced relegated Ibiza knowing that if they won by four goals or more It could climb to positions of direct promotion and relegate the Unión Deportiva to third position.

 

However, luck smiled on the Gran Canaria team and the Levantinistas could not get past the draw against Ibiza, which leaves UD Las Palmas in direct promotion positions and with real possibilities of promotion this Saturday. A golden opportunity.

 

 

The situation for it to occur is not easy, the Sports Union does not depend on itself. In order to celebrate the long-awaited promotion this Saturday, the yellows must win in Cartagena, wait for a defeat by Alavés and for neither Eibar nor Levante to win their matches. Some complicated calculations, but not impossible taking into account the wear and tear with which all the teams in the upper zone reach the final stretch of the season.

 

Matchday 41 will have all the matches in which promotion positions are played (both direct and through PlayOffs) in a unified schedule. UD Las Palmas will face seventh-placed Cartagena away from home. For their part, Eibar and Alavés will face Sporting de Gijón and Málaga respectively, teams that are fighting not to be relegated and maintain the category. Levante will visit Villarreal B, the Gran Canaria's last rival against whom they could only get a draw at the Gran Canaria Stadium.
