Las Palmas vs Barcelona Preview and Team News
Las Palmas Team News
Las Palmas lost 3-1 to Mallorca last weekend, with new recruit Stefan Bajčetić scoring the only goal for them in the 61st minute. The team struggled in the first half and changed systems in the second, which saw a more dominant show.
This defeat marked the sixth consecutive match without a win for the Canarians, who have now lost their latest three encounters. As a result, they dropped to 17th place and could fall into the relegation zone, depending on Valencia’s result against Atlético Madrid.

The team have struggled to keep a clean sheet, making it harder to secure positive results. Unlike in the Segunda División, breaking down compact, low blocks in La Liga has proven more challenging. They’ll play a crucial game against last-placed Real Valladolid the following week.
Captain Kirian Rodríguez will miss the rest of the season as he continues his battle with cancer. Marc Cardona, Marvin Park, Fabio Silva, and Adnan Januzaj will be out with injuries. Scott McKenna will not feature either due to his suspension.
Las Palmas predicted lineup vs Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Cillessen; Mármol, Pelmard, Suárez, Viti; Bajčetić, Loiodice; Moleiro, Muñoz, Fuster; McBurnie.
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona returned to the top of the table for the first time in two months after a tight 1-0 win against Rayo Vallecano. Robert Lewandowski converted a penalty.
The Catalans created several chances throughout the match but struggled to convert them. Raphinha was largely ineffective, as Los Franjirrojos defended deep while remaining dangerous on the counter. However, Hansi Flick’s well-drilled offside trap frequently caught Rayo offside, preventing several goal-scoring opportunities.

Jules Koundé was expected to start, but after arriving late to the team’s pre-game meeting, Flick opted to start Héctor Fort instead.
Barcelona are unbeaten in their previous twelve events across all competitions, with their latest victory coming against Atlético de Madrid in late December.
Marc-André Ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, and Andreas Christensen remain sidelined due to injuries.
Barcelona predicted line-up vs Las Palmas (4-2-3-1): Szczęsny, Balde, Cubarsí, Araújo, Koundé, Pedri, Casadó, Raphinha, Olmo, Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski

- Prediction: Barcelona to win
- Odds: 2.4 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Las Palmas 1-3 Barcelona
Kirian’s absence is a massive blow for Las Palmas, as he was one of their most influential players in possession. His absence was always going to make things more difficult for the hosts.
The creative burden now falls on the young Alberto Moleiro, especially with Fabio Silva sidelined. Furthermore, McKenna’s suspension forces one of the most reliable defenders out, making it more difficult for Barcelona.

This will not be an easy match for the visitors. Gran Canaria is the most distant venue from the mainland, often leaving players fatigued before they even step onto the pitch. The game against Rayo Vallecano was physically demanding, and Hansi Flick may opt to rotate his squad.
In their last encounter, Las Palmas, led by new manager Diego Martínez, shocked Barcelona with a 2-1 victory, marking their first win against the Catalans in the 21st century.
Las Palmas vs Barcelona Betting Tip
- Pick: Lamine Yamal to score
- Odds: 2.4 (22Bet)
Lamine Yamal did not start in Barcelona’s previous game against Las Palmas, which ended in a 2-1 defeat for the Catalans. Flick will know better than to underestimate this Canarian side. Having failed to score in that 2-1 defeat, Yamal will be eager to make an impact this weekend.
With McKenna absent, Yamal could find it easier to exploit Las Palmas’ defense. The hosts will need a dedicated ‘anti-Yamal plan,’ especially after Rayo Vallecano’s focus on neutralizing Pedri proved ineffective.
