Las Palmas vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting tips
FC Barcelona is still dreaming of title rolling, but knows that from now on every failure is directly fatal. Also, the elimination battle in and against Las Palmas has to yield three points.
Las Palmas :
Las Palmas knew a season with two faces. In the first half of the season, the island club played the tiles of the roof and was perhaps the biggest revelation of Spain. However, after the winter break, the team, as a result of the blurred relationship between Trainer Setien and the board, collapsed as a cardboard house. With only one point from the last five games, the season can not be over soon enough. Last weekend, the team went down again (Sporting Gijon-out: 1-0). “If you’re not concentrated on this level, you’ll get over,” Momo puts the finger in the saddle. After that defeat, Setien, who will leave after this season, will happily dine with some family friends. This prompted him to reprimand the club leadership, as he had not asked for permission.
The last week’s incident with Setien draws the unhealthy tension that has been hanging out in Estadio de Gran Canaria for a while. It also has an effect on the players, because Las Palmas is in a downward spiral. Until a month ago, El Submarino Amarillo was the fourth-most scoring team of the Primera Division, but in the meanwhile the team is still three in a row dry. “It’s a mental issue,” said Setien. “We seem scared to miss, it is lacking in self-confidence.” In addition, the team lacks a real number nine. Kevin-Prince Boateng and Jese Rodriguez are of course fine attackers, but by nature they are not real goalkeepers. However, Las Palmas is in a fresh start, but it is only possible to start as soon as this season is over.
Probable setup Las Palmas
Varas; Bright, Bigas, Lemos, Michel; Viera, Roque Mesa, Vicente; Jese Rodriguez, Boateng, Tana
Barcelona :
FC Barcelona still can pack the Spanish double, but will need a portion of luck. On the basis of a better mutual result, Barça may call Real Madrid at the expense of arch rivals, but the Madrids still have a match credit. There is nothing left for the Catalans than to continue to win and thereby increase the pressure, hoping that the capitals of the city will make an appearance.
At La MSN (Messi, Suarez and Neymar) it will not be at all. The illustrious attack striker already scored 101 official goals this season, with Lionel Messi obviously taking the lion’s share. In the league, FC Barcelona scored 108 times in total, so it’s only seven goals away from the club record from the 2012-2013 season. In the back, however, the Blaugrana remains vulnerable – in the last ten league games, Ter Stegen only managed three times to keep his goal clean. This weekend also took care of trainer Luis Enrique. Right back Sergi Roberto has been suspended while replacing Vidal in the lap basket. Probably Mascherano will therefore act as an opportunity right back.
Probable setup Barcelona
Ter Stegen; Alba, Umtiti, Pique, Mascherano; Iniesta, Busquets, Rakitic; Neymar, Suarez, Messi
