Two teams in disappointing form will lock horns in Spain's top flight on Saturday afternoon, with Las Palmas welcoming Villarreal to Estadio Gran Canaria.
Las Palmas were beaten 2-0 by Tenerife in the Copa del Rey last time out, while Villarreal were also eliminated from the competition on Monday courtesy of a penalty-shootout loss to Unionistas de Salamanca.
Any spot above 18th would therefore be considered a successful season, but the team have performed above expectations, boasting a record of seven wins, four draws and eight defeats from their 19 matches, which has left them in 10th spot in the table on 25 points.
Pio Pio are 10 points clear of the relegation zone and just three points behind seventh-placed Real Betis, but they will enter this match off the back of three straight losses in all competitions.
Indeed, Garcia Pimienta's side have been beaten in their last two league matches by Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona either side of the winter break, in addition to losing 2-0 to Tenerife in the Copa del Rey on Sunday.
