Las Palmas - Barcelona La Liga Prediction

Overview

Despite having just had an unconvincing victory over Rayo Vallecano in round 24, Barcelona is still on a 12-match unbeaten streak in all competitions in 2025. This impressive form helped the Catalan team win the Spanish Super Cup, reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey and the round of 16 of the Champions League. More importantly, they have reclaimed the top spot in La Liga from Real Madrid.

Barca fans will be hoping for a victory in their away trip to Las Palmas. Not only needing 3 points, they also want to boost the team's confidence before facing Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

In addition, a victory will help Barcelona pay back the debt they lost to Las Palmas in the first leg with a score of 1-2 at home.

While Barcelona are having a very successful 2025, Las Palmas have shown contrasting form. They have not known the taste of victory in 7 matches since entering the new year, including being eliminated from Copa del Rey. The team's most recent victory came on December 23, 2024, when they defeated Espanyol with a minimum score.

In the context of struggling in the relegation race, Las Palmas will hope to accumulate points to avoid the danger zone. However, with the second worst defensive team in the league with 41 goals conceded, Las Palmas will find it difficult to repeat the feat in the first leg.

Personnel situation

Las Palmas will continue to be without Adnan Januzaj, Fabio Silva and Marc Cardona due to injury. Meanwhile, Scott McKenna will be suspended for 1 match after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season.

On the other side of the front line, Barcelona still does not have the services of the trio Andreas Christiansen, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal due to injury.

Expected lineup:

Las Palmas: Cillessen, Pelmard, Suarez, Herzog, Marmol, Loiodice, Essugo, Fuster, Munoz, Moleiro, Mc burnie.

Barcelona: Szczesny, Kounde, Cubarsi, I. Martinez, Balde, Casado, Pedri, Yamal, Gavi, Raphinha, Lewandowski.
