Las Palmas take on the visitors Betis in the round 36 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, April 16th at Estadio de Gran Canaria (Las Palmas).
Las Palmas stopped playing somewhere around mid-April. Already then it was clear that relegation was not looming for this team, which seemingly completely destroyed all motivation for the Yellow-Blues to collect points. As a result, in the last eight rounds, Francisco García Pimienta's team suffered eight consecutive defeats in the championship, scoring only one goal in this number of matches. In most of these games (seven), the bet Under 3.5 Goals was successful: against Athletic Bilbao (0-2), Almeria (0-1), Barcelona (0-1), Sevilla (0-2), Girona (0-2), Real Sociedad (0-2), and Mallorca (0-1).

March was very unsuccessful for Betis, but in April, the Green-Whites pulled themselves together. As a result, in the last five rounds, the Andalusians won four matches with one draw, and only the latest of these matches was rich in goals - against Almeria (3-2). In the other matches, the Under 3.5 Goals bet was comfortably successful: victories over Celta (2-1), Valencia (2-1), Osasuna (2-0), plus a draw in the derby with Sevilla (1-1). The distribution of places in the zone is still ongoing. Yes, it can be said for sure that the Champions League is not shining for Betis. But it is still unclear where the team will play in the fall - in the Europa League or in the Champions League. Therefore, there is motivation for the wards of Pellegrini to collect points in the remaining rounds.
It will be very strange if the eight-match losing streak of Las Palmas are interrupted precisely in the match against Betis, which won four matches with one draw in the last five rounds of the championship. These teams are currently in completely different forms, and on paper, the visitors are clear favorites. But football is a complex and not always logical thing. Therefore, just in case, I'll hedge my bet with X2 and combine it with Under 3.5 Goals. Only once in the last five rounds of La Liga have Las Palmas and Betis together scored more than three goals in their matches. And in the three previous head-to-head meetings, including the first-round match of this season, the Green-Whites were stronger with the same scoreline (1-0). My prediction - X2 + Under 3.5 Goals.
Prediction for the match: Betis not to lose and Under 3.5 scored goals.
