Las Palmas
The Canary Islanders will start the new year with a four-match unbeaten run in the league. The club defeated Barcelona and Valladolid with identical 2-1 scores, and also beat Espanyol in the last round (1-0). There was also a goalless draw away at Real Sociedad. This successful stretch in the league has allowed them to climb to 13th place and create a seven-point gap from the relegation zone.
Midfielder Viti Rosada will miss the game due to injury.
- The club has not lost in 7 of their last 9 La Liga games (6 wins and 1 draw).
- The number "1" has appeared in the final score in 5 of Las Palmas' last 6 home matches in La Liga.
- There was a draw in the first half of the last five league matches for the Canary Islanders.
Getafe
The club from the outskirts of Madrid ended last year with two narrow 0-1 defeats. First, they lost away to Atletico, and then at home to Mallorca. In the last 10 league matches, Pepe Bordalas' side has only managed two wins (3 draws and 5 losses). Due to these results, Getafe is 17th in the standings, just one point ahead of the nearest relegation rival. The club also has the worst attacking record in La Liga, having scored only 11 goals.
Defender Diego Rico will miss the match due to suspension.
- No more than two goals have been scored in Getafe's last 13 La Liga matches.
- The club has not scored in the first half of their last 10 away games in La Liga.
- One of the teams failed to score in seven of Getafe's last league matches.
Las Palmas vs. Getafe: Match Prediction
I believe the bookmakers are mistaken in offering such high odds for a home win. The Canary Islanders are in excellent form, having only lost to Atletico and Mallorca in their last nine La Liga matches. During this run, they managed to beat teams like Girona, Rayo Vallecano, and Barcelona. Additionally, Las Palmas has won 3 of their last 4 home matches in La Liga.
Meanwhile, Getafe has only won three times this season. They managed to defeat Valladolid, Espanyol, and Alaves – all of whom are ranked no higher than 16th in the standings. Importantly, the team hasn't won away in their last 10 La Liga matches (2 draws and 8 losses). During this run, Getafe has scored just three goals. Therefore, with a slight safety net, my prediction is Las Palmas with a handicap (0).
