On February 22, 2025, at the Gran Canaria Stadium in Las Palmas, the 25th round of the Spanish La Liga will feature a match between Las Palmas and Barcelona. We're betting on goals in this encounter.
Preview
The two teams are positioned at opposite ends of the table. Barcelona is tied for first place with Real Madrid, ahead of the Madrid side only on goal difference. A win against the bottom team is crucial for maintaining their lead. Unlike the “Whites”, the Catalans were able to rest after securing an early spot in the Champions League Round of 16, allowing them to better prepare for the upcoming match.
So far this calendar year, Flick's team has been unbeaten: 10 wins and 2 draws.
Las Palmas is in deep crisis, having earned just one point from their last six La Liga matches. In such a form, the team is hovering just above the relegation zone, sitting in 17th place. Furthermore, they have one of the worst defensive records in the league, having conceded 41 goals.
The match gains extra significance because in the first half of the season, Las Palmas caused a major upset by defeating Barcelona 2-1 at the Nou Camp.
Possible lineups
- Las Palmas: Sillessen, Marmol, McKenna, Alex Suarez, Viti, Moleiro, Fuster, Bajcetic, Luaodias, Munoz, McBurnie
- Barcelona: Szczesny, Fort, Kubarci, Martinez, Balde, Gavi, De Jong, Pedri, Yamal, Rafinha, Lewandowski
Match facts
- Barcelona is the highest-scoring team in La Liga, with 65 goals to their name.
- Away from home, the Catalans are incredibly productive: in their last three away games, they scored 14 goals.
- In the last six matches involving Las Palmas, the “both teams to score” bet has consistently been successful.
- Despite their crisis, Las Palmas shows character at home, as they have not lost by two or more goals on their own turf this season.

H2H
In the history of their encounters, Las Palmas has only one victory – the sensational win earlier this season. In the other 12 meetings, Barcelona has won 9 times, and 3 matches ended in a draw.
Prediction
Although Las Palmas is in crisis, they still score regularly. Barcelona, on the other hand, boasts the best attack in the league. Given the statistics, the “both teams to score” bet with a coefficient of 1.64 seems like a logical choice.
