Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the La Liga match.
In the last round, Las Palmas triumphed away at Valencia (3:2), breaking a 23-match winless streak that began back in February. Can they replicate that success and now defeat a resilient Girona at home?
Las Palmas
Las Palmas seem rejuvenated following a managerial change. Under Diego Martínez, they secured an immediate victory, which boosted their morale. They appear well-poised to retain their La Liga status. Las Palmas have been impressive in attack, scoring 12 goals with 10.6 xG, though their defence still needs work, having conceded 19 with 19.3 xGA.
Girona
Girona are struggling with significant injury woes, making consistency across multiple competitions a challenge. For their Champions League clash against Slovan Bratislava, as many as 11 players were sidelined due to injuries. While they've managed to secure points at home, away matches remain troublesome—securing just one win in five outings this season, and only keeping a clean sheet once.
Las Palmas vs Girona Prediction
The hosts are likely to show improvement as their newfound confidence grows after ending a long slump. It's difficult to predict if Las Palmas will clinch a victory in this fixture. However, given their solid attacking play and Girona's rather underwhelming defence, we recommend considering a bet on the individual total for the home side.
