Latest Las Palmas vs Atletico Madrid team information
Las Palmas are without three key players due to injury: Benito Ramirez, Jasper Cillessen and Kirian Rodriguez (who had a relapse of cancer earlier this year and is out for a long time). However, coach Diego Martinez is likely to keep the same squad that beat Getafe, with the attacking trio Sandro – McBurnie – Silva in good form.
Marvin Park could be given the starting spot on the right wing in place of Viti Rozada.
As for Atletico Madrid, Angel Correa is still serving a suspension, while Samuel Lino and Rodrigo De Paul are absent due to injury. There have been no new injuries since the match against Valladolid, so coach Simeone is likely to keep the same starting lineup.
Alexander Sorloth is competing for a place up front, but Antoine Griezmann is almost certain to start alongside Julian Alvarez. In midfield, Koke will continue to replace De Paul as the central coordinator.

Latest football commentary on Las Palmas vs Atletico Madrid
Las Palmas are currently 18th in La Liga with 29 points after 31 matches (7 wins, 8 draws, 16 losses), just one point behind Alaves in the safety zone. The islanders just had an impressive 3-1 win over Getafe – their first win since before the winter break – and have lost just one of their last four league games.
Under coach Diego Martinez, Las Palmas have been resurgent towards the end of the season. However, they face two big challenges in a row, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. If they can pick up points in these games, their chances of staying up will be much brighter.
Up front, Las Palmas still have effective strikers. Fabio Silva and Sandro Ramirez have scored a total of 18 goals this season, while Oli McBurnie has also scored in two consecutive matches against Real Sociedad and Getafe.
In the first leg last season, Las Palmas caused a surprise when they beat Atletico 2-1. However, in the first leg this season in Madrid, they lost 0-2.
On the other side, Atletico Madrid enter this match with two consecutive wins against Sevilla and Real Valladolid, after a six-game winless streak that saw them eliminated from the Copa del Rey (by Barcelona) and Champions League (by Real Madrid) respectively.
Defeats to Getafe and Barcelona in that period also all but ended Atletico’s hopes of winning La Liga. They are currently third on 63 points, seven behind leaders Barcelona with seven games remaining. However, they have opened up a 12-point gap to Villarreal in fifth – meaning they are almost certain to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Atletico have been doing quite well away from home this season with 26 points from 15 games, while Las Palmas have only picked up 14 points from 15 home games.
