Las Palmas vs Barcelona: Preview and Predictions

Las Palmas vs Barcelona
Spanish La Liga
Date: Sunday, 14th May April 2017
Kick-off at 19:00 UK / 20:00 CET
Venue: Estadio de Gran Canaria.

The team from the Canary Islands welcomes the Catalonians in the match important only for one team, the guests. Barcelona need to win all remaining matches and hope for Real Madrid’s slip.

Barcelona easily beat Villarreal at Camp Nou last weekend with 4-1, while Las Palmas prolonged their losing streak after the defeat in Gijon.

Las Palmas

The hosts are visibly showing no interest since they secured the top flight survival. In the last 5 La Liga outings, they were beaten in 4 with a single draw. After 36 games they’ve collected 39 points, and they will probably finish the season in the 14th position which they currently occupy.

Las Palmas were brilliant in home matches this season. However, they started dropping points at Gran Canaria too, probably due to lack of motivation. In 18 matches at the Canary Islands, they have recorded 9 wins, 6 draws and only 3 defeats with 32 goals scored and 21 conceded.

Barcelona

Both Catalonians and Los Blancos collected 84 points so far but Real have a game against Celta at hand. Barcelona are the first team to score more than 100 goals in this season’s campaign. Ahead of Las Palmas clash, they’ve already netted 108 goals.

As expected, Barca were brilliant in La Liga visits this season. In 18 outings on the road, they were only beaten three times while drawing three and winning twelve games.

Las Palmas vs Barcelona: Head-to-head

Las Palmas vs Barcelona: Prediction

The hosts clearly don’t care about the outcome of the match, but the stands will probably be full so they might attempt to stay undefeated. Barca have the imperative of win and everything besides an away victory would be a surprise.
