Las Palmas Leganes prediction 2025-05-18

Las Palmas vs Leganes prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-05-17 17:00.
[p]Las Palmas’ relegation from La Liga was confirmed on Wednesday by Alavés’ 1-0 victory over Valencia, as they have an inferior H2H record against Alavés and can’t surpass their current total of 38 points. Even getting to 38 would need Diego Martínez’s side to win their remaining two matches, which looks difficult as they have won only twice across all competitions in 2025 (D4, L13). That includes four consecutive defeats and the Islanders now run a risk of bowing out with their longest losing streak of the season.[/p]

[p]Losing their two remaining matches would see Las Palmas register their equal second worst top-flight campaign in terms of defeats, so there’s still some incentive left for the Canaries. Las Palmas can also give their home fans something to enjoy by ending their campaign in Gran Canaria with a win, although that too looks unlikely following just one victory from their last nine matches here (D2, L6).[/p]

[p]Leganés are only just alive in their battle against relegation, starting this round four points adrift of safety. Even a win could see them relegated depending on results elsewhere, although by collecting points in four of their last five league games (W1, D3, L1), Los Pepineros are putting up a fight to avoid the drop.[/p]

[p]Being on the road has been a tough task for Borja Jiménez’s side as they have won just once away from home in this league campaign, albeit against champions-elect Barcelona. Leganés still remain a tough team to beat, having drawn a joint-league high nine away fixtures in this league season (W1, L8). The H2H record suggests they are capable of adding to that count as the visitors have never lost a top-flight game against Las Palmas (W3, D2), including a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture.[/p]

[p]Players to watch: Alberto Moleiro could look to have the last laugh as his six league goals this season have all served as Las Palmas’ final goal of the match. Dani Raba assisted twice in Leganés’ last win (3-2 vs Espanyol), but a goal from him could kickstart things for the visitors, as he netted their first strike in three of his last four scoring games.[/p]

[p]Hot stat: Las Palmas failed to score before half-time in nine of their last ten league games, as well as the last four top-flight H2Hs.[/p]
