Each team's starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Las Palmas
The Canaries have lost back-to-back La Liga matches for the first time since early October. First, they were defeated at home by Getafe (1-2), followed by a thrashing from Real Madrid (4-1). Before this, the club had a four-match unbeaten run 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' last 8 La Liga games.
- At least three goals have been scored in 6 of the Canaries' last 8 league matches.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final scoreline in 5 of the club's last 6 league encounters.
Osasuna
Pamplona's side drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano in their last match. This was their fifth draw in the last seven La Liga games. Additionally, the club has not won in the league for eight matches (5 draws and 3 losses). Due to this poor run in La Liga, Vicente Moreno's side is only 10th in the standings, but the gap to the European spots is not significant – just 4 points.
- At least two goals have been scored in 6 of Osasuna's last 8 La Liga games.
- The club has not scored more than once in 8 of their last 9 away league matches.
- The Pamplona side 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 give a slight edge to the hosts. The Canaries will aim to bounce back from their disappointing loss to Getafe in their previous home game. Overall, the team performs well at home, having lost only 4 of their last 12 league matches (3 wins and 5 draws). Additionally, Las Palmas consistently scores at their stadium – in their last 12 league matches, they failed to score only against Celta.
Osasuna, aside from their already considerable winless streak, has weak away performance. In their last nine away La Liga matches, Pamplona's side has secured just one victory (4 draws and 4 losses). Particular attention should be paid to the club's 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)
