Las Palmas – Barcelona Prediction & Picks (01.03.2018)

It is no secret to anyone that the Catalans start as clear favorites on this occasion, since they are superior to the Sports Union in all areas of the game. Because of this and knowing that the place is not reliable in Gran Canaria, we believe that the triumph of the visit is an interesting alternative to bet. Remember that being Messi and Suarez in the attack, there will always be situations to score.

Las Palmas :

After stealing a point to Leganés as a visitor, the Sports Union came to total 19 points in total. At the moment, he is alternating good and bad results in his last presentations, missing a bit more luck to win a couple of consecutive matches. Of course, it is undeniable that the team’s football and emotional performance has improved since the arrival of coach Paco Jémez.

After two straight home wins, Las Palmas returned to their reality by losing 1-2 to Sevilla. Acting as a local in Gran Canaria, the team has yielded too many points in total (4 wins, 1 parity and 7 losses, reaching 13 goals and receiving 24 in their goal).

Barcelona :

The present of the Catalans is positive and encouraging, as it leads the Santander League with confidence. His short-term goal is to win this match and get the best way to the momentous clash against Atlético de Madrid. Little by little more Coutinho is appearing, the French Dembelé still in debt. Jordi Alba will not play due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

As a visitor, Barcelona has reaped more than positive results, becoming the best team in this condition (undefeated product of 10 wins and 3 equalities). It comes to beat Real Sociedad 2-4, to crush 0-5 Betis in the second half, to equal 1-1 against Espanyol in a rough classic and to overcome 0-2 to Eibar in Ipurúa. For the Champions League, managed to steal a draw with Chelsea after losing 1-0 partially (draw 0-0 in the first half).

The last confrontation between the Sports Union and the Catalans was some months ago, being the winner Barcelona by a clear 3-0. In Gran Canaria, Las Palmas has lost the last two duels that he played against the Catalans since his return to the first division (1-2 in February 2016 and 1-4 in May 2017). In these games, the Catalans won 1-2 and 0-2 the first 45 ‘minutes of play.
