Reasons for supporting Barcelona
Barcelona have not lost to Las Palmas in any competition since February 1991, when they suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of a Copa del Rey match.

Prior to that game, Barca outscored Las Palmas 12-1 in their previous three encounters.
Forward Robert Lewandowski leads Barcelona with eight goals, which puts him in seventh place in La Liga.

Reasons for supporting Las Palmas
Los Amarillos have shown strength at home in their first La Liga season since 2017-18, tallying a 4-3-1 record in their first eight matches. They rank second-to-last in scoring in Spain’s top division, with just 15 goals, but they have also been one of the strongest defensive units, with only league-leading Real Madrid (11) conceding fewer goals than Las Palmas (15). Los Amarillos have achieved only four clean sheets but have yet to allow more than two goals in a single encounter.
Only three players have scored multiple goals for Los Amarillos this campaign, with midfielder Kirian Rodriguez leading the team with three goals. Two of the 27-year-old’s goals were match-winners, as he provided the decisive strikes in 1-0 triumphs against Granada and Alaves. Winger Jonathan Viera netted twice for Las Palmas but departed the club in mid-December, leaving striker Marc Cardona as their second-highest scorer with a pair of goals. Check out SportsLine for the team to pick here.
