Las Palmas take on the visitors Getafe in the round 15 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, December 1st at Estadio de Gran Canaria (Las Palmas).
Las Palmas have quite often played in the top division throughout their history. However, in the early 2000s, there were even years they had to spend in the third level of Spanish football. After finally making it back to La Liga in 2015, they stayed there for three seasons. They attempted to escape from Segunda again in 2022 but finished in 4th place, leading to subsequent losses in the playoffs. After that, Javier Garcia Pimienta retained his position, and in the following season, they managed to secure the 2nd position, earning direct promotion to the top flight. The start was challenging, with a couple of draws and three dry defeats (all by 0-1). However, from late September onwards, they started to improve, particularly with numerous victories, especially at their home ground. In the last round, they had an away match against Real Betis in Seville, which ended with the only goal scored by Willian Jose.

Getafe have once again become Pepe Bordalas's team. In the mid-2010s, during their previous stint in Segunda, the Blues appointed Jose Bordalas as their head coach for the first time. Their peak was associated with his work when they almost secured the 4th place, a Champions League spot in La Liga, and performed well in the UEFA Europa League playoffs. When the coach decided to try himself at Valencia, the club immediately plummeted to the level of a relegation fighter. Bordalas, including himself, saved them from demotion to Segunda, returning to the position in the midst of the last season. Currently, there is no talk of any similar threats, and Getafe feels quite confident. Although they can't fully regain lost positions or seriously compete for at least the Europa League, they have managed to secure a place in the middle of the La Liga standings, almost undefeated since late September. After dealing with Almeria in a determined style, they even climbed to the 8th position, although there is a 5-point gap to the nearest neighbor, Real Betis.
The last time these teams played in La Liga was during the 2017/2018 season. Getafe managed to win both matches. The hosts are considered favorites in this pair. However, the visitors from the outskirts of Madrid are currently in good form, so it's worth betting that they will at least avoid defeat on Friday – taking X2.
Prediction for the match: Getafe not to lose (X2).
