The Matchday 22 clash in La Liga between Girona and Las Palmas will take place on February 3 at the Montilivi Stadium. Girona vs. Las Palmas: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Girona
The Catalans have lost their last two league matches, suffering 1-2 defeats to Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano. Notably, Michel Sanchez's team scored first in both games but conceded decisive goals in the final 10 minutes. Interestingly, Girona has not lost three consecutive matches in this La Liga season. The club has dropped to eighth place but is only two points away from the European competition zone.
- Exactly three goals have been scored in 5 of Girona's last 6 La Liga games.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final score in 10 of Girona's last 14 league matches.
- In their last 17 home matches in La Liga, the Catalans have drawn only once (11 wins and 5 losses).
Predicted lineup for Girona (4-5-1)
Paulo Gazzaniga – Juanpe, Daley Blind, David Lopez, Arnau Martinez – Yaser Asprilla, Yangel Herrera, Donny van de Beek, Ivan Martin, Bryan Gil – Arnaut Danjuma.
Las Palmas
The Canaries have not tasted victory in their last three La Liga matches. During this stretch, they lost to Getafe (1-2) and Real Madrid (1-4) and drew with Osasuna (1-1). The club has not gone this long without a win in the league since early October last year. Diego Martinez's team is currently in 15th place, three points ahead of the closest relegation zone rival. It's worth noting that only Valladolid and Valencia have conceded more goals than Las Palmas this season in La Liga.
Midfielder Dario Essugo will miss the match due to suspension.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final score in 6 of Las Palmas' last 7 La Liga matches.

Girona vs. Las Palmas: Match Prediction
Michel Sanchez's side unexpectedly lost their last home league match against Sevilla. The team will be eager to make amends, considering that since October 2023, Girona has only suffered five home defeats in La Liga, previously losing only to higher-ranked clubs in the standings (Villarreal, Barcelona, Real Sociedad, and Real Madrid). Additionally, in their last 25 home league matches, the Catalans have won 17 times (3 draws and 5 losses).
Las Palmas surprised everyone with a victory over Barcelona on their home turf this season, but they rarely win away. In their last 18 away league matches, the team has only three wins (4 draws and 11 losses). It's also worth noting that the Catalans have defeated the Canaries at home in their last two La Liga meetings. The hosts have higher motivation, as they have excellent chances to compete for a European competition finish. Therefore, my prediction is: Girona to win
