Las Palmas vs Barcelona: La Liga Preview and betting tips

Thursday’s football programme will feature Las Palmas vs Barcelona in the 19th round of the league. The visitors are the clear favourites, after all they are still the winners of the last edition. The match will be played on 4 January at 21:30.

• Las Palmas are playing for a quiet mid-table position so far, but they have extracted only one point from the last two rounds and refused to jump up the table. Before the start of the round they were only three points behind the Top 7, so their motivation against Barcelona will be taken care of
• Barcelona is not nearly as dominant in the league as last year, already seven points behind Real Madrid and Girona. Moreover, its current form is not good either, winning only one of its last five games, including the loss in the Christmas fixture
• Despite the home advantage, Las Palmas are clear underdogs at odds of 5.66, while visiting Barcelona can be backed at 1.57. The division of points is at odds of 4.33

Where to watch the Las Palmas vs Barcelona match?

Thursday’s match of the New Year’s 19th round of La Liga will offer a clash between two teams with different ambitions. While the home side would like to maintain their mid-table position, Barcelona are defending their championship title. The match at the Estadio Gran Canaria will take place on 19 December at 21:30.

Las Palmas with unattractive matches

The 15 goals scored is the third lowest number in the league, while the same number of goals conceded makes Las Palmas the second best defending club after Real Madrid.

Barcelona’s offense is on a roll

Although the Catalans are not doing well, their attack is still working. They have scored more than once in four of their last five games. It’s quite a paradox, because Robert Lewandowski is really out of form for perhaps the first time in a decade.

Betting tip – Barcelona to win

Las Palmas are no slouch this year, they are fighting for the cup top 7, yet I don’t trust them against Barcelona. Specifically, I expect a triumph for the Catalans and at the same time few goals. A bet on a maximum of four goals combined with the guests is odds tempting, as is a bet on Barcelona winning with a clean sheet. After all, Las Palmas score less than a goal per league round on average. At the same time, they concede less than a goal per round.
