Las Palmas vs Alaves Prediction & Betting Tips (26 May)

Promoted this season, Las Palmas obtained its retention but not brilliantly. In the end, we don't really know what to think of this team dressed in yellow and blue which had started its campaign with a bang, even scrambling with the top 8 but which finally crashed in the second half of the season. In case of victory, it could finish at best in 12th place if Getafe, Sevilla and Vigo do not win at the same time. Note also that the locals have not won in La Liga since February 10, i.e. for 13 days for a record of 9 defeats and 4 draws. Last weekend, in numerical superiority during the last quarter of an hour, they did not manage to gain the upper hand over the now relegated Cadiz 0-0 especially as they already remained on a parity score obtained three days before against Betis Sevilla 2-2.

Opposite us, we also find a team promoted to La Liga and which will remain in La Liga for a second successive season, Deportivo Alaves. Remember, the Basques were relegated two years ago to the 2nd level but they returned to the elite by winning the D2 playoffs. Author of a great campaign overall, El Glorioso was especially prolific at home, grabbing 31 of his 45 points in his lair. Furthermore, he won his last home dance of the season against Getafe last weekend 1-0, somewhat correcting his lesson learned at the Bernabéu against the champion, Real Madrid, three days before 5-0. Casually, from an overall point of view, the evening visitors have only lost one of their last 6 matches in La Liga for a satisfactory record of 4 wins and a draw.

Las Palmas should be full if Sinkgraven's injury and withdrawal are excluded (only 10 appearances this season). The time has come to conclude and we can say that no one has stood out except Kirian Rodriguez (6 goals) and the Moleiro duo (3 goals, 3 assists) and Munir El Haddadi (3 pions). Author of a mixed season for a loan, Julian Araujo is uncertain today and he should return to Barcelona this summer but we do not really see how he could impose himself there...

On the other hand, Alaves will cope without the unfortunate Sedlar (important, ruptured cruciate ligaments) and without three players suspended for accumulations of yellow cards. These are Tenaglia (starting right back) and midfielders Benavidez (3 goals in 29 appearances this season) and Blanco (23 years old, 1 assist in 33 caps this year). Loaned by Atlético Madrid, Samu Omorodion (9 goals, crucial this season) and Giuliano Simeone (son of Diego Simeone) should return to the capital but they will probably look for a way out on loan again for the next campaign.
