Las Palmas
Las Palmas have yet to win a game this year. After a promising start since Diego Martinez took over the team, the Canarians are 14th in La Liga. However, they were knocked out of the Copa del Rey after a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Elche.
The match against Getafe wasn’t any better, as Las Palmas lost 2-1. Fábio Silva missed a crucial penalty in the 56th minute, which could have given his team the lead. In the last quarter, Los Azulones scored twice, while Januzaj pulled one back for his squad.
Las Palmas created enough chances in an evenly contested match but failed to capitalise on them. After fan abuse, club captain Kirian Rodríguez deleted his social media accounts following the game.

Martinez’s men faced Real Madrid next and caught them by surprise. They led early, but it didn’t last long as Kylian Mbappé equalised with a penalty 17 minutes later. Real Madrid eventually secured a 4-1 victory.
José Campaña, Viti, and Marvin Park remain sidelined with injuries, while Benito Ramírez is suspended following his red card against Real Madrid.
Osasuna
Osasuna currently sit 10th and have struggled to replace Jagoba Arrasate. They’re winless in their last five matches, with three draws and two losses.
While it may seem like a bad season at first sight, Osasuna eliminated Athletic Club in the Copa del Rey RO16. They’re the first team to eliminate them in a single-leg encounter.
As is often the case, the visitors won by defending resolutely, with Moncayola marking his man tightly. Overcrowding the central channels, they prevented any threat from their opponent.

The team was led by an excellent Budimir, who scored two goals, helping them win 3-2. This was unexpected, considering his contributions in front of the goal diminished in recent weeks.
Osasuna have been paired with Real Sociedad for the next round of the competition.
Head coach Vicente Moreno had less than three full days before the next match, leading him to choose the same players against Rayo Vallecano.
The game was intense, playing in Rayo’s favour, with Osasuna incapable of following the rhythm, leading to a 1-1 draw.

- Score Prediction: Las Palmas 1-2 Osasuna
The visitors were winless in their last La Liga matches, but that should change against Las Palmas. Vicente Moreno’s team famously rely on defensive solidity to launch counter-attacks, which are challenging to deal with.
Their performance against Athletic Club showed they’re capable of beating top clubs. Any struggles against Rayo Vallecano can largely be attributed to fatigue. Osasuna have had six days to recover since their last encounter.
Against Getafe, Las Palmas showed they struggle against defensive blocks, which is why Osasuna is the favourite for this event.
Las Palmas vs Osasuna Betting Tip
- Pick: Ante Budimir to score
- Odds: 2.625 (22Bet)
Ante Budimir struggled for rhythm in January but scored vital goals against Athletic Club. At 33, Budimir may lack consistency but remains Osasuna’s most reliable forward.
Las Palmas have had a hard time against traditional strikers who focus solely on scoring.
