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 Canary Islanders remain in the bottom three, but they are just one point away from the safety of 17th place. This is despite drawing their last two matches: 2-2 at home against Alaves and 1-1 away against Celta. However, their winless streak continues to grow, now extending to 11 matches in La Liga (4 draws and 7 defeats). It's also worth noting that Diego Martinez's side has conceded 48 goals, with only Valladolid having a worse defensive record in the league (65 goals).
- Both teams have scored in 9 of Las Palmas' last 11 La Liga games.
- At least two goals have been scored in 10 of the last 11 matches for the Canary Islanders in La Liga.
- The team has 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 last round and managed to defeat Valladolid 2-1. Before that, they were winless in three consecutive league matches, losing without scoring to Barcelona (0-4) and Sevilla (0-1), and drawing with Rayo Vallecano (2-2). The Basques are in the middle of the table, already 9 points behind the European competition spots. It's also noteworthy that the club has a negative goal difference (-4), something they haven't experienced at this stage of the league since the 2017/18 season.
- At least three goals have been scored in 8 of Real Sociedad's last 9 La Liga matches.
- In their last 12 league games, the club has drawn only once (4 wins and 7 losses).
- The Basques are winless in their last 6 away matches in La Liga (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.

Las Palmas vs. Real Sociedad: Match Prediction
On Tuesday, the San Sebastian side played a tough match in the Copa del Rey, which lasted 120 minutes against Real Madrid. The team not only got tired but also exited the tournament, although they were pleased with an away win 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 Canary Islanders might take advantage of the current state of the Basques. The club desperately needs points to escape the bottom three. I believe this match will be high-scoring. Las Palmas has shown weak performances at their home ground but has scored in 8 of their last 9 home La Liga matches, failing only against Barcelona. Meanwhile, the team has 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, and they have conceded in their last six away matches in La Liga.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
