Command Analysis

Las Palmas

Current Form
Luis Carrion faces high stakes as his team has yet to secure a win this season, sitting at the bottom of La Liga with just three points from eight matches. Ahead of the home fixture against Celta Vigo, Carrion remains realistic about his coaching position at Las Palmas. After a disappointing 1-3 loss to Villarreal, where they conceded twice late in the match, the coach vowed his team would put in tremendous effort this week to aim for victory on Saturday. Despite not winning since February, Las Palmas has earned all their points this season at Gran Canaria Stadium.
Injuries and Suspensions
Marmol (muscle injury), Marvin (injury), McKenna (hip injury), and Ramírez (muscle injury) will be unavailable for the match.
Betting Trends
- Las Palmas has conceded in the first half of their last five matches
- Wing player Alberto Moleiro has scored three times this season, with all goals coming before halftime, including two in the first ten minutes
Expected Lineup: Sillessen – Muñoz, Marmol, Alex Suarez, Marvin – Liodicea, Rodriguez, Javier – Moleiro, McBurnie, Mata.

Celta Vigo

Current Form
Celta Vigo faced defeat in their last visit here, but that remains their only loss in head-to-head encounters since October 2016, with the Galicians winning four of the last five matchups. The Celts have consistently found the back of the net in this rivalry, scoring four goals in their most recent clash in April, bringing the total to 25 goals in the last nine meetings. Concerns arise regarding the defense, as the visitors have already conceded 15 goals in the current league season.
Injuries and Suspensions
De la Torre (injury), Bamba (knee injury), and Ristic (calf injury) will be unavailable for the match.
Betting Trends
- Yago Aspas ranks among the top 20 all-time scorers in La Liga—he has netted at least two goals in three of his seven matches against Las Palmas as a starter.
- Head coach Claudio Giraldés, who took charge in March, has overseen just one clean sheet, which occurred in his second home game in charge.
Projected Lineup: Villar – Mankillo, Mingesa, Sverberg, Dominguez – Moriba, Beltran, Jailson, Rodriguez – Aspas, Iglesias.

Today we anticipate an open attacking style of football from two teams engaged in a fierce battle for every tournament point. The visitors have significant defensive issues, as evidenced by their recent match results, while Las Palmas traditionally concedes goals at home. We do not expect a goal frenzy, but we can't rule out a minimal exchange of goals, similar to what we've seen in the last ten head-to-head encounters.
Our prediction is that both teams will score, and we are placing our bet on this at odds of 1.72
Match Outcome Bet
The head-to-head statistics show a close matchup, and today we expect to see two teams of similar strength and composition on the field.

Prediction — draw with odds of 3.60
