Team News

Barcelona
Las Palmas
  • Hansi Flick's team will face this match with several important absences. Casadó is suspended, while Marc-André ter Stegen, Ansu Fati, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal and Ronald Araújo remain injured, although the Uruguayan centre-back is already taking part in training.
  • The good news for the Blaugranas is the possible recovery of Lamine Yamal, who looks set to be available. Ferran Torres could be given the medical all-clear in time.
  • Las Palmas arrives with a practically complete squad. The only new feature is the return of Adnan Januzaj, who has been given the medical all-clear and could be included in the squad.

Prediction

  • Barcelona, despite their recent stumble, approach the game with confidence following a convincing 3-0 victory over Brest in the Champions League. The Catalans' strong home form, having won all five of their league matches at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys this season, poses a formidable challenge for Las Palmas, who have struggled on the road with five defeats in seven La Liga away fixtures.
  • UD Las Palmas, under the guidance of coach Diego Martinez, aim to build on recent positive performances that had lifted them out of the relegation zone. However, history weighs heavily against them, as Las Palmas have not defeated Barcelona in any competition since February 1991.
  • The Catalans, eager to bounce back from recent setbacks, are looking to secure a victory after a defeat at the hands of Real Sociedad and a late draw against Celta Vigo. With their lead at the top of the league narrowing, Barcelona will look to reaffirm their dominance while UD Las Palmas, positioned 17th in the standings, are determined to spring a surprise and distance themselves from the threat of relegation.

  • lol

  • Poor barca

  • Flick teams are always good in the beginning but then decline quickly.

  • @neumi17 definitely not always

  • @vviIde When was it not the case ? Flick started well or even amazing with Bayern and the national team but in the end both teams were playing terrible and not getting the desired results anymore.

  • @neumi17 Bayern under Flick playing terrible? This was the best Bayern since I don't know when

  • @vviIde In the first year, yes. But after the win of the CL Munich played way worse than in Flicks first year despite still getting the results.

  • @neumi17 you said "always" :)

  • Less than two goals

  • @footballover now that you of all people wrote this, I'm sure there'll be more than two

  • @vviIde told ya

  • Lew -190 / Raphina +105 TSA

  • Lewandowski to score @ 1.53

  • Barcelona Win
