Las Palmas Prediction
Las Palmas is experiencing a season in LaLiga marked by ups and downs. After a difficult start, the team showed significant improvement under the guidance of coach Diego Martinez, who took over on October 8, 2024. Under his leadership, Las Palmas managed to secure 19 points in 10 matches, climbing to 14th place in the standings and moving away from the relegation zone.
However, the start of 2025 has been challenging for the Canary Islands club. In the first six matches of the year, Las Palmas has earned only one point out of a possible 18, conceding 13 goals during this period. This negative streak has once again placed them near the relegation zone, level on points with Valencia, the team currently marking the safety threshold.
If we talk about statistics, Las Palmas has scored 29 goals in 24 matches. The top scorers are Sandro Ramirez and Fabio Silva, with seven goals each, accounting for 48% of the team's total goals. Despite creating numerous dangerous opportunities, only seven different players have scored this season, highlighting the lack of goal distribution.
Defensively, Las Palmas has shown vulnerabilities, especially in 2025, conceding 13 goals in six league matches. This fragility has been a key factor in their recent poor results.
Despite these challenges, players like Dario Essugo have been crucial in Diego Martinez's system. Essugo's absence in several matches due to suspension coincided with the team's negative streak, highlighting his importance in maintaining defensive balance and ball recovery.
Barcelona Prediction
Barcelona is first in the standings and aims to stay there. The team, managed by Hansi Flick, is undefeated in the last five matches they played, and in their upcoming visit to Las Palmas, they will be looking for another win.
At the end of January, Barcelona was 10 points behind Real Madrid. However, since then, Barcelona has gone on a winning streak, including an impressive 7-1 victory against Valencia, which has allowed them to close the gap and regain the tournament lead.
Offensively, Robert Lewandowski has been a key player, leading the top scorer table with 20 goals. Raphinha has been in outstanding form, making a significant impact on the team's attack with 13 goals. He is arguably Barcelona's best player so far.
Defensively, Barcelona has improved significantly, with standout performances from Inigo Martinez and Wojciech Szczesny, who have provided security and leadership at the back.
The club has overcome difficult moments and, thanks to a remarkable recovery in 2025, is in a strong position to compete for the LaLiga title. The team also aims to fight until the end in both the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League.
Las Palmas vs. Barcelona Prediction
I'm sure there will be no ties in this match. Barcelona arrives in great form, with a winning mentality thanks to their recent victories.
Lewandowski will probably score, but for this pick, I prefer to back the Brazilian Raphinha, one of the key players responsible for Barcelona reaching such a high level.
Las Palmas vs. Barcelona Pick: Barcelona ML, Raphinha Anytime Goalscorer (+115 in DraftKings)
