Third-placed Castellón, with four wins from five away games, visit a 15th-placed Las Palmas side under a new interim coach and missing at least nine players, though the visitors just lost their unbeaten start and their top scorer.

Castellón look the better team, but 2.00 for their win asks for 50% and does not offer enough. Four prices do: both teams to score – No at 2.30, Under 2.5 goals at 2.20, Under 0.5 first-half goals at 3.40, the first half level at 2.38.

Context

The dismissal and interim appointment landed four days before kick-off, leaving a club insider one working week to choose a team for a fixture that matters at the wrong end of the table. Rodríguez moved up from Las Palmas Atlético, had not spoken to the squad or staff before his first session and has said no one's place is guaranteed. He also did not know which injured players would be available, so the starting eleven and the bench are unusually open. The role is explicitly temporary while the club searches for a permanent coach, which may limit how far he reshapes the side before Saturday.
- Las Palmas dismissed Rubén de la Barrera after nine matchdays, with the club 15th on 11 points and three points above the relegation places.
- Juan Manuel Rodríguez, 67, moved up from Las Palmas Atlético and is in a fourth spell in charge, ranking fifth in the club's history with 125 first-team matches.
- He said no player's place is guaranteed and asked the club for neither money nor signings.
- He had not spoken to the squad or staff before his first training session.

Camara is Castellón's reference centre-forward and the focal point of an attack that had ranked among the division's most productive. His absence has coincided with the team's two weakest displays and just one point, and without him the attack has managed a single goal in two league games. The staff must find another route to goal on the road, where the unbeaten start already ended. The club has given a timeline of more than a month rather than a fixed return date, so a quicker comeback cannot be ruled out.
- Camara scored four goals in the opening weeks of the season and was nominated for the La Liga 2 player of the month award for September.
- His injury is expected to keep him out for more than a month, and he missed the 1-0 defeat at Andorra on 11 October.
- Ousmane Camara started 3 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.

The absentee list is concentrated in attack and midfield, removing several senior options and leaving the interim coach to assemble a side from a squad he has barely worked with. He admitted on taking over that he could not say who would be available, which makes both the starting eleven and the bench uncertain. Several of the absences date from early October, so partial returns are possible before kick-off. The uncertainty is a selection problem rather than a settled weakness.
- Las Palmas were without at least nine players for the 3-1 defeat at Mallorca on 11 October, a list including Jesé, Sandro Ramírez, Sergio Ruiz, Marvin Park, Viti Rozada and Ale García.
- Midfielder Sergio Ruiz underwent surgery in early October.
- Juan Manuel Rodríguez said on taking over that he did not know whether he would recover any of the injured players.

The unbeaten run had been the platform for Castellón's place near the top, and losing it at Andorra removes a cushion before a long away trip. Their attacking output, among the division's best, was blunted in that defeat, which overlapped with the top scorer's absence. A win on Gran Canaria keeps them close to the automatic-promotion places, while a second straight loss would let the chasing pack close in. The Andorra result is a single game and does not by itself establish a slump.
- Castellón went to Andorra unbeaten, on the longest current run without defeat in Spanish professional football.
- Moro Sidibe's early goal gave Andorra a 1-0 win, Castellón's first defeat of the season after nine matchdays.
- Castellón stayed third, one point off top spot.
