Each team's starting lineup for their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Las Palmas
The Canary Islanders caused a major upset in the last round by defeating Barcelona 2-1 away from home. This was their fourth victory in the last six league matches (with two losses). Thanks to these results, Diego Martinez's side has climbed to 14th place, two points clear of the relegation zone. It's also worth noting that Las Palmas' matches are the fourth most productive in La Liga, with an average of 3.07 goals scored per game.
- Both teams scored in 12 of Las Palmas' last 16 La Liga matches.
- At least two goals were scored in 14 of Las Palmas' last 16 league games.
- The number "1" appeared in the final scoreline in 7 of their last 10 league encounters.
Valladolid
Valladolid has not tasted victory in their last five La Liga matches, suffering four losses and drawing once. In the previous round, they were thrashed 5-0 at home by Atletico Madrid. This heavy defeat led to the dismissal of head coach Paulo Pezzolano. Notably, Valladolid has suffered two heavy defeats this season, including a 7-0 loss to Barcelona in the fourth round. The team is at the bottom of the table, four points adrift of the safety of 17th place.
- At least two goals have been scored in 8 of Valladolid's last 9 La Liga matches.
- The team conceded first in 7 of their last 9 league games.
- Valladolid has scored only 1 goal in the first half of their last 14 La Liga matches.
Las Palmas vs. Valladolid: Match Prediction
The Canary Islanders are in excellent form for a team that was recently in the relegation zone. They have escaped the bottom three largely due to their high conversion rate, and with 20 goals scored, they are on par with teams fighting for a spot in the top half of the table. On the other hand, Valladolid scores the fewest goals in the league, half as many as Las Palmas. They also have the worst defense in the championship, having conceded 32 goals already.
The hosts have won only once at home in La Liga this season. Given the upcoming opponent, there's a chance to improve their home record. Valladolid is very weak on the road, losing 9 of their last 11 away games in La Liga. They have also conceded at least two goals in 9 of their last 11 away matches in the league. I am confident that Las Palmas will secure all three points in this game without much difficulty.
My prediction: Las Palmas to Win
