Middling squad UD Las Palmas (7-7-7, 28 points) will host contending side Sevilla FC (13-4-4, 43 points) in a 2016-2017 La Liga season match on Sunday, Feb. 12 at the Gran Canaria Stadium.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 12:30 p.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Las Palmas has been inconsistent in their past few matches, winning two, drawing one, and losing three in the last six rounds of Spanish top flight competitions. The team is currently settled in the 11th spot in the overall standings, 15 points above the bottom three relegation area and seven points below Villarreal and the final Europa League qualifying berth for the next term.
Los Amarillos is coming off a disappointing 0-1 defeat at the hands of bottom three side Granada on the road at the Los Cármenes Stadium on Monday, as per SkySports.
Brazilian midfielder Andreas Pereira netted the lone goal of the match for the hosts in the 17th minute with a right-footed shot from outside the box off a pass by Moroccan midfielder Mehdi Carcela-Gonzalez.
The loss snapped a two-game unbeaten run for head coach Quique Setién's squad.
Meanwhile, Sevilla suffered a second consecutive winless game after the team was held to a goalless tie by contending squad Villarreal at their own home ground of Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium last Sunday, BBC Sport reported.
With the draw, the Sevillistas were only able to add a point in the standings in two games after dropping a sorry 1-3 upset loss to Espanyol in their previous fixture, which put their title hopes at risk.
The team is now third in the Spanish top flight table, two points behind second-running team and defending champions FC Barcelona and three points below current league leaders Real Madrid.
Los Rojiblancos has 17 games remaining in their campaign this season.
