Key Highlights

Barcelona Are Looking to Make It Three Back-to-Back Wins in La Liga

Four wins and a draw from their last five outings have seen Barcelona leapfrog Girona into second in La Liga.

With nine matches remaining and an eight-point deficit to leaders Real Madrid, Barcelona’s chances of challenging for the title are purely mathematical. 

However, Xavi Hernandez will expect his side to retain their momentum as they look to capitalize on any slipup by Los Blancos.

A win on Saturday against Las Palmas will bring the three points they need to apply some pressure on Real Madrid and retain their lead over the chasing pack in the fight for the top four.

Winless in their Last Five Outings, Las Palmas are Looking to Return to the Points in La Liga

Las Palmas’ form has suffered in recent matches; they have collected two points from a possible 15 in their last five outings in La Liga, drawing twice, and losing three times, including back-to-back defeats against Athletic Club at home (0-2) and at home to Almeria last time out (0-1).

Las Palmas will look to steady their shape and make it difficult for sides to play through them. They will need this chance quickly given they face an attacking Barcelona side with the talent to break them down.
