Las Palmas
The Canary Islanders have not tasted victory in three consecutive La Liga matches. During this run, the club lost to Getafe (1-2) and Real Madrid (1-4) and drew with Osasuna (1-1). The club has not experienced such a winless streak in the league since early October last year. Diego Martinez's side is in 15th place, three points ahead of the nearest relegation rival. Additionally, only Valladolid and Valencia have conceded more goals than Las Palmas in this season's La Liga.
Midfielder Dario Essugo will miss the match due to suspension.

Girona vs. Las Palmas: Match Prediction
Michel Sanchez's side unexpectedly lost to Sevilla in their last home league match. The team will be eager to make amends for this slip-up, having lost only five times at home in La Liga since October 2023, and previously only to higher-ranked clubs in the standings (Villarreal, Barcelona, Real Sociedad, and Real Madrid). Additionally, Girona has won 17 of their last 25 home league matches (3 draws and 5 losses).
Las Palmas surprised with a victory over Barcelona on their turf this season, but they rarely win away from home. In their last 18 away league matches, the team has only three wins (4 draws and 11 losses). It's also worth noting that the Catalans have defeated the Canary Islanders at home in their last two La Liga meetings. The hosts are more motivated, as they have excellent chances to compete for a European spot. Therefore, my prediction: Girona to win
