Girona vs Las Palmas prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-02-02 20:00.
[p]With their inaugural UEFA Champions League campaign now done and dusted (W1, L7), Girona will turn their attention to getting back into Europe next season. Their ambitions have been hurt by a run of four successive defeats across all competitions – all of which came by a one-goal margin – with the two La Liga losses therein contributing to them sitting outside the top-six.[/p]
[p]Michel’s men are nonetheless bound to be confident of making up ground here as they’ve avoided defeat in each of the last five home H2Hs against Las Palmas across all competitions while conceding just once (W3, D2). Girona were beaten in their last home league match by Sevilla though (2-1), leaving them at risk of losing back-to-back La Liga matches at Estadi Montilivi in La Liga for the first time since May 2023.[/p]
[p]Las Palmas are unlikely to fancy their chances considering they’ve endured a miserable start to 2025, failing to win any of their four competitive matches so far this year (D1, L3). The Yellows have therefore slipped closer to the relegation zone in La Liga, with the last two league matches in that run unhelpfully seeing them reduced to ten men.[/p]
[p]Boss Diego MartĂnez will be keen for such ill-discipline to stay away from their solid away form, with only Real Madrid and AtlĂ©tico Madrid beating them in their last six league trips (W3, D1). Despite those defeats, Las Palmas have overall been solid on the road against sides starting this round inside the top-half of the table, avoiding defeat in three of their four other such games this term (W2, D1). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Girona’s Arnaut Danjuma was on the scoresheet against Arsenal during the week, with three of his four competitive club goals this season serving as the match opener. With goals in back-to-back substitute appearances – including a 98th-minute equaliser against Osasuna – Adnan Januzaj must be pushing for a Las Palmas start to take on a side he last scored against in 2017/18 while representing Real Sociedad![/p]
[p]Hot stat: Girona won seven of their nine La Liga games as favourites this season (D1, L1). [/p]
