Las Palmas preview: Down in the Canary Islands
Las Palmas have been mathematically relegated due to now being six points adrift of Deportivo Alaves with just six points to play for and having a worse head-to-head record against the Basque side, making these two final games meaningless in that respect for them.
Diego Martinez’ come into this one on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Andalusia in their most recent outing. Alvaro Garcia Pascual scored the only goal of the game for the struggling Andalusians in the 52nd minute.
Leganes preview: Still fighting
Coached by Borja Jimenez, Leganes have given themselves a chance of survival in the final couple of games of the 2024/25 La Liga campaign following their promotion back to the top-flight as Segunda Division champions last season.
However, the visitors do come into this one on the back of a hammering at the hands of Villarreal at El Madrigal in midweek due to a brace of goals from Spain international Ayoze Perez as well as a strike from Ivory Coast international winger Nicolas Pepe.

Las Palmas vs Leganes prediction
Las Palmas come into this one on the back of four successive defeats after back-to-back victories in mid-April had given the Canary Islanders a chance of potentially avoiding the drop. They now take on a Leganes side that need rock-bottom Real Valladolid to do them a massive favour against Alaves, whilst also doing their own job and siding with Lega go do their side of the deal is likely against a likely demotivated and frustrated Las Palmas side.
