Las Palmas vs Girona Preview

In the 33rd match week of the 2023-24 La Liga season, Las Palmas FC takes on Girona FC in a mouth-watering football clash. The match is scheduled to take place on 27th April, Saturday at Gran Canaria. Scroll down below to learn more about the Las Palmas vs Girona match preview, prediction, and betting tips.

Las Palmas, currently low on confidence, come into this fixture off the back of five consecutive defeats in the league, while Girona cruised to a comfortable 4-1 win over Cadiz in their previous match. Los Amarillos currently sit in the 13th position with 37 points along with only 10 wins. They have been terribly poor in scoring goals (30), having conceded 39 goals so far this term in La Liga.

Girona FC, on the other hand, have been riding on a breakthrough season as they surprisingly hold the third spot in the points tally over the likes of Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia, who are considered the big teams in the league. The White and Reds have registered an impressive number of wins (21) out of their 32 games, losing six and drawing 5 times so far. With 68 points in the bag and just 2 points behind the second-positioned Barcelona, Girona have a great chance to feature in next season’s UEFA Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.

Las Palmas vs Girona Prediction

Las Palmas have lost in their last five games in La Liga, with the last one coming in the form of a 1-4 thrashing at the hands of Celta Vigo. Despite losing 0-2 to Sevilla and 0-1 to Barcelona, Los Amarillos showed grit and confidence in their performance and played some beautiful football. While they are poised to go all guns blazing at home, Girona’s aim is to leave the Canary Islands with all three points.

The visitors are on course to acquire a great achievement if they somehow stay in the top four of the league table. This will automatically book a spot for them in the next term’s Champions League, a feat that has never been achieved in the history of the club. If we look at the performances of both teams in their last five games in the Spanish top flight, we can notice how contrasting their performances have been in this process. Girona won all their last five games with almost flying colors, while Las Palmas succumbed to defeats. There is a huge chance of Girona claiming another resounding victory at Las Palmas this Saturday, despite serious threats posed by the home team. It’s Girona’s game for sure.
