Las Palmas

Las Palmas has played three matches in La Liga since beating Valencia on February 10: they lost to Atletico 0:5, drew with Osasuna 1:1, and Getafe 3:3. In the LL standings, Las Palmas sits eighth with 37 points, five points behind Betis. Their home stats are 9th in the division with a record of +6=4-3 and a goal difference of 17:10. Recall that in home games, LP concedes less than a goal per game. Herrera will not be able to help the team today.

Athletic

Madrid has another Herrera injured. Athletic won the Copa semifinal and sealed a 0:0 draw with Barcelona at home. Before this round, the Basques were in fifth place, five points behind Atletico, with 11 rounds remaining in the championship. They have a chance to reach the Champions League spot, but they need to finish the season decently. Atletico's away record is fifth in the division, with a goal difference of 12:12 (+4=5-4).

Expert Betting Tips

No way the hosts are La Liga outsiders and still have a chance for 6th-7th place. They may even represent Spain in the UEFA Cups next season. And the Basques may qualify for the Champions League and win the Copa del Rey. We predict a low-scoring match as Las Palmas has a solid defense at home, and Athletic tends to concede a few. Recently, this rivalry has not been very productive. Considering the outcome, the visitors appear to perform better. The Lions defeated Atletico Madrid twice in the Copa semifinals and did not concede against them in the last round. They also managed to earn a point against the reigning champions.
