The Matchday 30 clash in La Liga between Las Palmas and Real Sociedad will take place on April 6 at the Gran Canaria Stadium. Las Palmas vs. Real Sociedad: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Las Palmas
The Canaries remain in the relegation zone, but are only one point away from safety in 17th place. This is despite drawing their last two matches: 2-2 at home against Alaves and 1-1 away against Celta. Their winless streak has now extended to 11 matches in La Liga (4 draws and 7 losses). Notably, Diego Martinez's side has conceded 48 goals, with only Valladolid having a worse defensive record in the league (65 goals).
- Both teams scored in 9 of Las Palmas' last 11 La Liga matches.
- At least two goals were scored in 10 of the Canaries' last 11 Primera matches.
- The club conceded first in 8 of their last 9 league matches.
Predicted lineup for Las Palmas (4-4-2)
Jasper Cillessen – Mika Marmol, Juanma Herzog, Scott McKenna, Viti Rosada – Alberto Moleiro, Javier Munoz, Jose Campana, Stefan Bajcetic – Oliver McBurnie, Fabio Silva.
Real Sociedad
San Sebastian's side played at home in the last round and secured a 2-1 victory over Valladolid. Before that, they went three matches without a win in the league, losing to Barcelona (0-4) and Sevilla (0-1) without scoring, and drawing 2-2 with Rayo Vallecano. The Basques are mid-table and already nine points off the European spots. Additionally, the club has a negative goal difference (-4), a situation they haven't faced at this stage of the season since 2017/18.
- At least three goals were scored in 8 of Real Sociedad's last 9 La Liga matches.
- In their last 12 league matches, the club has drawn only once (4 wins and 7 losses).
- The Basques have a six-match winless streak away in the Primera (1 draw and 5 losses).
Predicted lineup for Real Sociedad (4-4-2)
Alejandro Remiro – Igor Zubeldia, Aritz Elustondo, Javi Lopez, Amari Traore – Martin Zubimendi, Jon Ander Olasagasti, Sergio Gomez, Pablo Marin Tejada – Takefusa Kubo, Mikel Oyarzabal.
Match Prediction: Las Palmas vs. Real Sociedad
On Tuesday, the San Sebastian side played a grueling Copa del Rey match, spending 120 minutes on the pitch against Real Madrid. The team not only exhausted themselves but also exited the tournament, though they impressed with an away victory and high scoring (4-3, extra time 0-1). As a result, Real Sociedad might miss out on European competitions next season, as they are already significantly behind the top six.
The Canaries might capitalize on the Basques' current state. The club desperately needs points to escape the relegation zone. I believe this match will be high-scoring. Las Palmas has shown poor home form but has scored in 8 of their last 9 home La Liga matches, failing only against Barcelona. They have also conceded in their last five home league games. The San Sebastian side should also find the net, as they need to close the gap to the European spots, having conceded in their last six away league matches.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
