Las Palmas is unbeaten in three of their last four outings to remain in the 10th spot of the La Liga table, eight points above the bottom three relegation zone and only three points below the Europe League qualifying berths currently held by Villarreal and Real Sociedad.
The Yellows settled to a 1-1 draw with another newly-promoted team, Deportivo Alaves, on the road at the Mendizorrotza Stadium last Sunday, ESPN reported.
Alaves netted the opening goal of the contest right in the fourth minute with a right-footed shot from the right side of the six-yard box by Spanish defender Alexis off an assist by French defender Theo Hernandez.
The one-point lead stood past the halftime break, but Las Palmas striker Marko Livaja was able to find the equalizer in the 57th as he directed Portuguese left back Helder Lopes' cross past the outstretched arms of Alaves keeper Fernando Pacheco.

It was the second unbeaten performance in three games for head coach Asier Garitano's club, who have lost four of their last six games.
With the draw, Los Pepineros were able to add a point to their total in the overall standings. The team is currently in the 15th place of the Spanish top flight table, only two points above the bottom three area and a point below 14th-place team Real Betis.
