One of the fighters for survival in La Liga, Las Palmas, will come to visit Barcelona at a time when they really need a victory.
Hansi Flick’s team suffered two misfires in a row in the championship, bringing Real closer to it. One more loss and “Creams”, taking into account the game in hand, will take the lead, so everything is serious and there is no way to slip up.

Barcelona news
Barca lost 0-1 to Real Sociedad and drew 2-2 with Celta Vigo in their last two rounds, but then beat Brest 3-0 in the Champions League, confirming that they are much more effective at home than away.
This season at Montjuic, Flick’s team has not had a single misfire – 8 wins out of 8 in all tournaments, and since the beginning of October, Barça has not scored less than two goals per game here. Even a giant like Bayern is scared to come to Catalonia, let alone Las Palmas?
3+ – Barcelona are the fifth team to win four consecutive games by 3+ goals in the European Cup/Champions League, after PSG in 2017 (5), Bayern Munich (4 in 2020 and 2021), Leeds United in 1969 (4) and Reims in 1958 (4).

The Canaries are the third worst defense in La Liga (25 goals conceded) and have few arguments to contain Lewandowski, Rafinha, plus Barca have Yamal returning from injury. It doesn’t smell like a struggle here, but rather a decent defeat, to be honest.
News from Las Palmas
The Canaries’ only hope is in coach Diego Martinez, who came to the club in the middle of the season and helped a lot; with him, the team won 4 out of 6 matches, although against much less famous opponents than Barça.
Las Palmas also gave Las Palmas a run for their money in the last round against Mallorca, but lost comically: the referee gave a free kick a couple of meters from the Canary goal for a provocation from Jaime Mata. This episode was then shown all over Europe, it’s rare to see something like this.

Well, so you understand the scale of the Canaries’ task on Saturday: they haven’t won against Barca in a single tournament since 1991, in La Liga since 1986, and on the field Barca haven’t won since 1971! Not a single club in the Spanish elite plays so badly against the Catalans.
Barcelona – Las Palmas: statistics of personal meetings
Last season, both Barca’s matches with Las Palmas were close, but the Cules triumphed – 1:0 at home and 2:1 away.
Before this, the Canaries played in the Segunda for 5 years, so there is no point in digging deeper.

Approximate compositions
Las Palmas has a rare case – the whole team is in the ranks.
Ter Stegen, Christensen, Bernal, Fati and Casado, who was suspended for being sent off in Vigo Casado, will definitely not play for Barca. In addition, Araujo is not yet training with the general group; it is too early for him to be on the field.
“Barcelona”: Peña – Kunde, Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Balde – de Jong, Pedri – Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha – Lewandowski
“Las Palmas”: Cillessen for Rosada, Alex Suarez, McKenna, Muñoz for Essugu, Campagna for Sandro, Kyrian Rodriguez, Fuster for Fabio Silva

“Barça” at home is traditionally light, inspired, and here there is an opponent – as if on order. There should be a lot of goals.
