Las Palmas vs Alaves prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-03-13 20:00.
[p]Las Palmas start a La Liga round inside the relegation zone for the first time since early November after losing 1-0 to Real Betis on Sunday, further extending their wait for a first league victory of 2025 (D2, L7). A lack of discipline again proved costly as for the second game in a row, and the fourth time during that winless sequence, they had a man sent off, but unlike their valiant defensive effort against Real Valladolid one game prior (1-1), there were to be no heroics on this occasion. [/p]
[p]Following consecutive away matches, Las Palmas will hope that returning home can spark a turnaround, although their form in La Liga this calendar year at Estadio de Gran Canaria offers little encouragement (D1, L3). As all three of their league wins on their own patch this season (D4, L6) have been by a one-goal margin, a tight battle is expected against Alavés, another side battling to maintain their top-flight status.[/p]
[p]The visitors are likely to arrive here brimming with renewed confidence after a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over high-flying Villarreal on Saturday – their first league win since mid-January (D3, L3) – which lifted them up to 18th and above Las Palmas. It was a gutsy performance after goalkeeper Antonio Sivera was sent off with almost 50 minutes remaining and they finished the game with nine men, courage theyâll need to display on a regular basis if theyâre to stay up. [/p]
[p]While El Gloriosoâs away league record this term is underwhelming (W2, D4, L8), recent form on their travels shows promise as they have only lost one of their last six matches on the road (W1, D4). After positive results at LeganĂ©s (3-3) and Mallorca (1-1), another draw here would mark the first time since April 2006 that theyâd seen three successive La Liga away games end in stalemate.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Las Palmasâ disciplinary problems are epitomised by centre-back Ălex SuĂĄrez, who has been booked in each of their last seven home league fixtures. Opposing defender Manu SĂĄnchez has collected six La Liga bookings of his own this season, but he did score AlavĂ©sâ winner against Villarreal with his first goal since October 2021![/p]
[p]Hot stat: Eight of the last nine H2Hs have produced fewer than 2.5 goals.[/p]
