Las Palmas
The Canary Islanders have suffered back-to-back defeats in La Liga for the first time since early October. They lost 1-2 at home to Getafe, followed by a 4-1 thrashing by Real Madrid. Prior to this, the team enjoyed a four-match unbeaten streak in the league (3 wins and 1 draw). Diego Martinez's side is currently 14th, but the relegation zone is just three points away.
Midfielder Benito Ramirez will miss the match due to suspension.
- Both teams have scored in 6 of Las Palmas's last 8 La Liga matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in 6 of the Canary Islanders' last 8 league games.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final score in 5 of the team's last 6 league encounters.
Osasuna
Osasuna drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano in their last match, marking the fifth draw in their last seven La Liga games. Additionally, the team hasn't won in the league for eight matches (5 draws and 3 losses). Due to this poor run, Vicente Moreno's side is only 10th in the standings, but they are just 4 points away from the European spots.
- At least two goals have been scored in 6 of Osasuna's last 8 La Liga games.
- The team has not scored more than once in 8 of their last 9 away league matches.
- Osasuna has not won the first half in their last six league matches (4 draws and 2 losses).
Las Palmas vs. Osasuna: Match Prediction
In the upcoming match, I slightly favor the hosts. Las Palmas will be eager to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Getafe in their previous home game. Overall, they have performed well at home, losing just 4 of their last 12 league matches there (3 wins and 5 draws). Additionally, Las Palmas has consistently found the net at home, failing to score only against Celta in their last 12 La Liga matches.
Osasuna, besides their significant winless streak, has struggled on the road. In their last nine away league matches, they have won just once (4 draws and 4 losses). It's also worth noting their lackluster attack, which has scored only 5 away goals in the current league season. Only Espanyol has scored fewer away goals in La Liga (4 goals).
My prediction – Las Palmas with a handicap (0)
