Prediction

  • Barcelona, despite their recent stumble, approach the game with confidence following a convincing 3-0 victory over Brest in the Champions League. The Catalans' strong home form, having won all five of their league matches at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys this season, poses a formidable challenge for Las Palmas, who have struggled on the road with five defeats in seven La Liga away fixtures.
  • UD Las Palmas, under the guidance of coach Diego Martinez, aim to build on recent positive performances that had lifted them out of the relegation zone. However, history weighs heavily against them, as Las Palmas have not defeated Barcelona in any competition since February 1991.
  • The Catalans, eager to bounce back from recent setbacks, are looking to secure a victory after a defeat at the hands of Real Sociedad and a late draw against Celta Vigo. With their lead at the top of the league narrowing, Barcelona will look to reaffirm their dominance while UD Las Palmas, positioned 17th in the standings, are determined to spring a surprise and distance themselves from the threat of relegation.
