In contrast, Las Palmas are sitting in 18th in the La Liga table, just one point shy of safety. However, they are coming on the back of a 3-1 win over Getafe. This was their first win since before the winter break. Even so, Diego Martinez’s side have shown promise in recent outings.

With European ambitions for Atletico and survival hopes for Las Palmas, both teams have everything to play for in this high-stakes encounter.
