Las Palmas want to end their ‘curse’ vs Burgos

Las Palmas face this Sunday a game with extra weight: Burgos has been a tough opponent historically. As MARCA points out, in their six head-to-head meetings the Yellow team have failed to score even once.

A streak that hurts

And the detail that stings most is that both Burgos wins came at Gran Canaria, where the teams meet again this Sunday. So the immediate task is clear: find the way to goal against a side that Las Palmas still haven’t managed to beat in any of their six previous games.

“It’s going to be a challenge”

In press after the build-up, Enzo Loidice directly addressed the issue. As MARCA quotes, the player said: «We have a very difficult rival for us; we’ve never scored against them. It’s going to be a challenge». His message matches Las Palmas’ main aim in this matchup: turn the opportunity into something more than another attempt.

The preview also shows the squad is still being fine-tuned. In midfield, the starting spot is less clear, and different profiles have been tried—among them Loidice himself. He also described why he thinks that competition helps, saying: «We’re different profiles. Kirian is much more of a ball-protagonist… Iñaki is a more positional profile. I’m a bit in between—defensive and offensive. Everyone brings different things, and it’s a matter of complementing each other», according to MARCA.
