Unlocking hidden value in soccer matches
Las Palmas hosts Barcelona at the Estadio de Gran Canaria in a match from the 25th round of Spanish La Liga. Let’s see what we can tell you about it in these Unlocking hidden value in soccer matches guides.
Las Palmas are having some issues this season and it’s obvious. The team is at 17th place in the standings, being on par with the 18th Valencia – both teams have 23 points won. The real problem is Las Palmas’ current form – they have won just one point in their last five matches in the league. Diego Martinez’ time as a head coach could be coming to an end if he doesn’t improve the team.
Last weekend Las Palmas lost again – this time against Mallorca away from home (1-3). Stefan Bajcetic scored for the visiting team, but before this Mallorca already had three goals advantage.
Barcelona are the new leaders in La Liga. After a 4th consecutive win in the league, Los Cules got ahead of Real Madrid. Both teams are on par with 51 points won, but Barca have better stats than Los Blancos.
Barcelona went top of the league after a difficult, but important 1-0 win against Rayo Vallecano at home. Robert Lewandowski scored the only goal in the game in the 28th minute of the match from a penalty kick. It was Lewandowski’s 20th goal for the season – he’s currently leading the Pichichi race in Spain, ahead of Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe.
Fermin Lopez is ready to return for Barca after being suspended in the previous game. Meanwhile Dani Olmo could return in the starting eleven – he played well after coming from the bench against Rayo.
That’s the Unlocking hidden value in soccer matches for the La Liga fixture between Las Palmas and Barcelona. The Catalans need to win here in order to stay on top. Let’s see if they will do it.
