Las Palmas
Getafe
The Sunday schedule of Spanish La Liga will kick off with a match at the "Gran Canaria" stadium, where local side Las Palmas will host Getafe. We suggest a bet on the outcome of this game with strong chances of success.
Match Preview
The Canaries ended last year with an impressive unbeaten streak of four matches in the league. Las Palmas secured victories over Barcelona and Valladolid with identical 2-1 scores, and narrowly defeated Espanyol in their most recent match (1-0). They also managed a goalless draw in an away game against Real Sociedad.
This productive stretch helped the Canaries climb to 13th place in the standings, securing a comfortable 7-point gap from the relegation zone. It’s worth noting the team’s overall impressive form: Las Palmas have been undefeated in 7 of their last 9 La Liga matches, earning six wins and one draw. However, surprisingly, they crashed out of the Copa del Rey midweek with a heavy 0-4 defeat against Elche.
Madrid’s Getafe finished last year with two narrow 0-1 losses. First, they fell to local rivals Atletico Madrid away, followed by a home defeat against Mallorca. In their last 10 La Liga matches, Pepe Bordalás' side managed only two wins, with three draws and five defeats.
This inconsistency has severely impacted their league position—Getafe currently sit 17th, just one point above the relegation zone. Their attacking struggles are evident: with just 11 goals scored, they hold the worst offensive record in La Liga. Away from home, Getafe have failed to win in 8 matches, losing six of them.
Expected Line-ups
- Las Palmas: Cillessen, Viti, Suárez, McKenna, Muñoz, Januzaj, Essugo, Campaña, Rodríguez, Moleiro, Silva
- Getafe: Soria, Duarte, Alderete, Gonzalo, Djene, Solá, Milla, Arambarri, Pérez, Uche, Ozgür
