Las Palmas Preview: Fighting at the bottom
Having failed to win in 2025, Las Palmas pulled off back-to-back victories in mid-April with a 3-1 defeat of Getafe at the Coliseum in the Community of Madrid being backed up by a 1-0 defeat of Atletico Madrid at Estadio Gran Canaria a couple of weeks ago.
They had been much-improved initially after the appointment of former Granada boss Diego Martinez before once again collapsing and they begin this weekend in the bottom three having most recently lost by a goal to nil at San Mames against Athletic Club.
Valencia Preview: Carlos Corberan’s influence
West Bromwich Albion were cemented in the top six and are now in the middle-of-the-table in the Championship, collapsing ever since the departure of Carlos Corberan to Valencia. Valencia, on the other hand, have gone from rock-bottom to mid-table in La Liga.
Los Che head into the final five games of the 2024/25 campaign, which could well have ended in relegation, with a chance of a top eight finish and European qualification, sitting five points behind the top eight ahead of this match day.

Las Palmas vs Valencia Prediction
Las Palmas begin tucked inside the bottom three and the relegation places with just eight victories in their 33 matches so far this season but there improvement in the last couple of months has been noticeable and they should take the game to a Valencia side that have only just to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid since Christmas Eve. This should therefore end up being quite an entertaining encounter in the Canary Islands with both teams scoring looking a good bet.
