Las Palmas take on the visitors Alaves in the round 42 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Saturday, May 27th at Estadio de Gran Canaria (Las Palmas).
Before the final round of the Spanish Segunda, Las Palmas has 71 points and occupy the second position in the overall standings. Javier Garcia Pimienta's team is one point behind Granada and has the same lead over Alavés. Essentially, the head-to-head match between these teams will determine who will secure direct promotion to La Liga and who will have to play in the playoffs. A victory guarantees promotion for Las Palmas, but in the event of a draw and a win for Levante in the parallel match, both teams will have an equal number of points, and additional criteria will be taken into account. In their last five matches, Las Palmas has recorded two victories over Eibar (0-1) and Cartagena (1-4) and three draws against Villarreal B (1-1), Zaragoza (1-1), and Levante (0-0). These are quite respectable results for the Segunda, as draws are very common in this league. Regarding home matches, Las Palmas has secured nine wins, eight draws, and suffered three losses with a total goal difference of 24 scored and 13 conceded. It's worth noting that this is only the eighth-best record among all teams in the league.

Alavés have accumulated 70 points and currently sits in third place. Their task is straightforward - to win this match. Any other result will not allow them to surpass Las Palmas in the table and secure direct promotion to the elite division. Alavés has had identical recent results, with two victories against Leganes and Malaga (both 2-1), two draws against Granada and Albacete (both 1-1), and a defeat against Levante (2-0). In twenty away matches, Alavés has achieved six wins, six draws, and suffered eight losses. The team coached by Luis Garcia Plaza has a negative goal difference of 19 scored and 22 conceded.
Las Palmas may seem like the favorite in the upcoming match, but there is a lack of certainty in their victory. Especially when considering the head-to-head meetings between these opponents, as Alavés has two victories in the last five encounters, and three matches have ended in draws. Therefore, it is difficult to predict who will come out as the winner and who will be on the losing side. However, in my subjective view, there is a high probability of seeing goals from both teams. This type of bet has been relatively regular in recent matches involving these teams. Both sides have been scoring and conceding goals in their recent games. Regardless of the circumstances, the visitors have no reason to sit back defensively since they must win. This, in turn, could work in favor of the home team, making the match highly open, as much as possible in the context of the Spanish Segunda. My prediction: "Both teams to score".
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
