Las Palmas
Diego Martinez's side managed only a draw in their last away match against Valladolid (1-1). This result ended a four-match losing streak in the league, but the club has not won in La Liga for eight matches (2 draws and 6 losses). The Canary Islanders are currently outside the relegation zone but are ahead of the closest bottom-three rival only due to a better goal difference.

- At least two goals were scored in Las Palmas's last eight league games.
- The first half ended in a draw in 9 of Las Palmas's last 13 La Liga matches.

Jasper Cillessen – Mika Marmol, Alex Munoz, Viti Rosada, Scott McKenna – Dario Essugo – Javier Munoz, Jose Campana, Alberto Moleiro, Sandro Ramirez – Oliver McBurnie.
Defender Scott McKenna and midfielder Alberto Moleiro will miss the match due to suspension, while midfielder Kirian Rodriguez is out with an injury.
Betis vs. Las Palmas: Match Prediction
With the arrival of forward Antoni Mateus, Betis has noticeably improved. In addition, captain Isco has finally recovered from injuries. It's no surprise that the club has won three consecutive league matches for the first time this season, beating Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, and breaking through one of the best defenses in La Liga – Getafe. In great form, Betis is likely to secure another three points and start closing in on fifth place.
Conversely, Las Palmas is in poor form. It seems likely that they will drop into the relegation zone after this round. The team has not won away in La Liga in five matches (2 draws and 3 losses). Additionally, Betis has defeated this opponent in all four previous home encounters in La Liga without conceding a single goal.
My prediction – Betis with a handicap (-1)
