Las Palmas take on the visitors Alaves in the round 28 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, March 14th at Estadio de Gran Canaria (Las Palmas).
Las Palmas returned to La Liga last season after a fairly long absence. Moreover, García Pimienta, the coach who led them back, managed to collect 40 points—more than enough to secure their top-flight status. However, in the summer, he moved to Sevilla, and the decision to replace him with Luis Carrión proved to be a mistake. It seemed like the club quickly corrected course by appointing Diego Martínez Penas, who immediately improved both performances and results, leading the team to several victories. However, since the winter break, it feels like Las Palmas never truly got going again. They started with a crushing 0-4 defeat to Elche in the Copa del Rey, and their league form has been poor, with occasional draws overshadowed by numerous defeats. Even the recent 1-1 result against Valladolid, La Liga's bottom club, can hardly be seen as a positive. A 0-2 loss to Real Betis in their last match only deepened their slump, marking their fifth defeat in six games.

Alavés face one of its last chances to survive. The "Bean Destroyers" have often hovered between La Liga and the Segunda Division. However, they managed to secure promotion through the playoffs and had a solid campaign last season, finishing in 10th place with 46 points—significantly above Las Palmas. This season, though, their decline has been even more dramatic than their upcoming opponent’s. The managerial switch to Eduardo Coudet hasn’t brought much improvement, as since mid-November, they have won only once—and that victory came against a strong Real Betis side. Aside from that, they have struggled to even secure draws, having been eliminated from the Copa del Rey early. That made their 1-0 victory over Villarreal in the last round particularly surprising, offering a rare glimpse of hope. However, they remain one of La Liga’s worst-performing away teams, with just two wins in their last 13 road matches.
In their last nine encounters, Las Palmas has won only once, but they have also lost just three times—including a 2-0 defeat earlier this season in autumn. It’s not so much that the visitors are strong, but rather that the hosts are even weaker. Back Alavés to win with a "draw no bet" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Alaves to win with 0.0 handicap.
