Back Bet Builder trio for the Monday night game

A couple of Spanish strugglers meet on Monday night with elta Vigo off to the Canaries to face Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria.
They've only won one game each this season and have almost identical records with five points their names and a -4 goal difference.
Las Palmas have incredibly only scored twice, and one of those was a penalty, but they've managed to stay unbeaten at home thanks to only conceding six goals all season - it's a no fun zone at their games this term.
Rafa Benitez is in charge of Celta these days, and they threatened to beat Barcelona in their last away game before blowing a 2-0 lead in the last 10 minutes.
It doesn't seem like a classic on paper but there's plenty on the line and a win foo either side would be huge as they look to fight off relegation.
There's only been eight goals in seven Las Palmas games this season - with all of those going under 2.5.
Five for Celta Vigo's seven have gone under 2.5 goals so we really have no choice but to back a low-scoring game here.
The bookies fancy it too as it's only 6/101.60 on under 2.5 goals but with the teams having so many low-scorers then it has to be the first place we start.
Simple one this as no team has had fewer cards than Celta Vigo this season with just 13 - that's 23 less than the team in to spot Getafe with 36.
Las Palmas have received more cards with 20, so seven more than Celta and with that many it's hard to see how the hosts can deal with it.
Plus in a game against two strugglers like this tensions are always running high so we'll take Celta to have most cards in the match at 8/111.73.
Iago Aspas is Celta's main man and although he needs to work on his accuracy a touch he's the player who's had the most shots on the team this season.
He's had 19 shots in just seven games, but only managed to hit the target with with four of those.
Aspas really needs to get a few more of those on target but after hitting the target in four of the last six I think he can test the keeper again here.
It's as short as 3/101.30 for Aspas to hit the target once in this game but as part of your treble he's worth including to bump up our tota price a touch.
