Las Palmas vs. Barcelona: La Liga Match Preview, Odds & Prediction

At the moment, Real Madrid is in second place in La Liga, behind Barcelona, who lead thanks to a better head-to-head record. Regarding points, Las Palmas is in 17th place, tied with Valencia for 18th place.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

With 23 points after 24 La Liga matches this season—six victories, five draws, and thirteen defeats—Las Palmas is in 17th position, tied for 18th with Valencia and only one point ahead of 19th-place Alaves.

Diego Martinez's squad's current record is concerning; they have dropped to the bottom of the league after collecting just one point in their previous six league matches and losing their last three matches against Girona, Villarreal, and Mallorca.

The last time Pio Pio won in Spain's top division was just before the winter break, and it was when they were riding high after a 2-1 victory against Barcelona in the same fixture.

At present, Los Amarillos aren't winning anything, and their 13 points from 12 home league games this season are among the lowest records in the division.

On the other hand, Barcelona has the best away record in La Liga this season, scoring 27 points out of 13 games. Hansi Flick's team will be confident going into this game because of their recent play.

With Monday night's 1-0 victory against Rayo Vallecano, the Catalan giants climbed to the top of La Liga. Robert Lewandowski scored the game's lone goal to boost his team.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have 51 points after 24 league matches this season, but Real Madrid is ahead of Atletico Madrid by one point thanks to a better head-to-head record.

Flick's squad has won its previous four La Liga matches in a row and has gone 12 games without a loss in all competitions, dating back to their 2-1 home loss to Atletico before the winter break.

Barcelona is aiming for a hat trick this season. They've breezed into the Champions League quarterfinals and will take on Atletico Madrid in next week's opening leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final.

On the road, the Catalans haven't lost to Las Palmas since February 1991, and at Estadio Gran Canaria on Saturday, they haven't lost to a top-flight opponent since February 1986.

Las Palmas x Barcelona Team News

After serving the ban that kept him out of last week's match against Mallorca, former Barcelona forward Sandro Ramirez will be available to play for Las Palmas this weekend.

In addition to Dario Essugo's expected return from his suspension, Scott McKenna will miss the match due to suspension. Meanwhile, the health of Marvin Park, Fabio Silva, Marc Cardona, and Adnan Januzaj is seriously questioned.

Once again, Las Palmas will be without key midfielder Kirian Rodriguez, who has relapsed with cancer and will miss the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, and Marc Bernal will again be injured for Barcelona. However, Fermin Lopez will return to the lineup after serving a ban against Rayo.

Jules Kounde will return to his right-back position. Uruguayan international Ronald Araujo, who passed a fitness test to be eligible to play on the bench against Rayo, may now get the nod to start.

Dani Olmo and Marc Casado will probably be benched for the first whistle since Frenkie de Jong has reclaimed his starting position in midfield thanks to Flick's encouragement of the Dutchman.
