Barcelona vs Las Palmas Prediction: Contrast in Performance of the Two Teams

Barcelona, ​​Beritasatu.com – Top of the La Liga standings, Barcelona will welcome Las Palmas in week 15 at the Olimpic Lluis Companys Stadium, Saturday (30/11/2024) at 20.00 WIB. Even though the Catalan side is the favorite, it is not impossible that Las Palmas will give a surprise.

Previously, Barcelona failed in the last two Spanish League matches. First, Hansi Flick’s team surprisingly lost to Real Sociedad with a score of 1-0. Then, Blaugrana only drew 2-2 when facing Celta Vigo.

As a result of the results of these two matches, Barcelona began to be beaten by Real Madrid, who are in second place in the La Liga standings. Los Cules leading with 34 points from 14 matches, four points ahead of Madrid who have only played 13 times.

Beating Las Palmas is actually not a difficult matter. Moreover, now Lamine Yamal can be lowered. Yamal’s absence against Celta Vigo and Real Sociedad was allegedly one of the reasons why Barcelona failed to win. But now Yamal has recovered and is ready to appear.

On the other hand, Las Palmas is in a difficult period since promotion to La Liga. They have only collected 12 points from 14 matches, and have suffered eight defeats. Now Las Palmas is in 17th place with a difference of two points from the relegation zone.

A series of bad results in away matches is also a big problem for Diego Martinez’s team. Meanwhile, in terms of head to headBarcelona has been superior in the last five meetings with Las Palmas. The Catalan giants recorded four wins and one draw.

At the last meeting in March 2024, Barca narrowly won 1-0 through Raphinha’s single goal. Now, Barcelona is also the favorite to win this match. It is predicted that the individual quality and collective quality of the team will make it difficult for Las Palmas to create threats.

Even though the statistics are not on their side, Las Palmas still hopes to surprise by taking advantage of the slightest opportunity. Celta Vigo alone was able to hold off Barca, meaning Las Palmas could do the same. Sandro Ramirez and colleagues will try to survive the downturn.

Barcelona: Inaki Pena, Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Gerard Martin, Marc Casado, Pedri, Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, Robert Lewandowski
