Las Palmas preview: A shock win against Atletico
Las Palmas upset the odds over the weekend when they played host to Atletico Madrid.
Much like the Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid match, this game appeared to be heading for a goalless draw until the 93rd minute when Javi Munoz scored a priceless winner for Las Palmas, putting the relegation-battlers on 32 points and out of the bottom three.
Goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen and midfielder Kirian Rodriguez are both doubts for the trip to Bilbao this week due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Horkas (GK), McKenna, Suarez, Marmol, Munoz, Rozada, Moleiro, Essugo, Bajcetic, McBurnie & Silva

Player to watch: Alex Berenguer
Alex Berenguer is enjoying another decent season with Athletic Bilbao and we have highlighted the forward as our player to watch on Wednesday night.
Berenguer, 29, has chipped in with five league goals and seven assists in his 31 LaLiga appearances so far this season but hasn't scored in the league for Athletic Bilbao since the 2-1 win over Celta Vigo in January.
Berenguer has 12 goal involvements in La Liga this season
We're backing Berenguer, who played against Real Madrid at the weekend, to put in another excellent performance on Wednesday night, one which will help guide his team to all three points against Las Palmas.
