Las Palmas vs Girona prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 26, 2024
One of the matches of the 11th round of La Liga will take place on Saturday evening at the Gran Canaria Stadium, where Las Palmas will host Girona. Here's a preview and prediction from the Dailysports expert team.
Las Palmas
Until the last round, Las Palmas was the only team in La Liga without a victory. Finally, Diego Martínez's side broke this streak, securing a crucial 3-2 away win against Valencia.
This success allowed Las Palmas to climb off the bottom of the La Liga standings, swapping places with Valencia, whom they overtook due to a better goal difference.
However, it's worth noting that Diego Martínez's defense remains one of the most vulnerable in the league—only Valladolid has conceded more goals (21) than Las Palmas (19).
Girona
After losing several key players, it will be incredibly challenging for Girona to replicate last season's remarkable success, when they sensationally finished third in La Liga. Currently, the Catalan side is struggling to manage their campaign across three competitions.
With 12 points after 10 rounds, the "Red-and-Whites" sit in 12th place in La Liga. In their last five matches, Michel’s side has managed just one win, a 2-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao. In their most recent outing, they narrowly lost 1-0 to Real Sociedad.
In the Champions League, Girona lost their first two matches, falling to PSG away (0-1) and Feyenoord at home (2-3). However, in midweek, they earned a historic first Champions League win, defeating Slovan Bratislava 2-0 at home.
