Las Palmas – Betis preview & prediction
There are three Spanish championship games on Thursday night, with Barcelona. For now, we look at the meeting between Las Palmas and Betis, where an away win would pay double.
Team news
Although Las Palmas started the season well, they were a solid mid-table team in the Spanish first division for a long time, but from March onwards they ran out of gas.
In their last eight games, they have lost eight games and scored one goal (!).
With this run, it is no wonder that they are now only 15th, but could still be relegated if Cadiz win their remaining two games, while Garcia Pinimenta’s side continue their poor run. The manager hasn’t rotated much, the bench is short, so he doesn’t risk going to the outfield, and he might give the unused players more opportunities in this midweek game.
Betis are going the opposite way as they are fighting for European qualification next season. They have 13 points from their last five games, but with a game against Real Sociedad this weekend and a trip to Real Madrid to come, they need to get the three points now.
A small rotation is also expected from Pellegrini, as he said at the press conference that several players are suffering from minor problems, and it could be decided before the game who can take the game. It is certain that Assane Diao and Pezella will not be available on Thursday.

Las Palmas’ lousy run is unlikely to be broken against Betis, as the Sevilla side are in good form both in terms of motivation and play. That said, we won’t go past the fact that Betis have also been slightly overperforming in recent weeks, clearly they can’t dominate their games either.
For us, this game looks like draw or Betis at least regardless, and we’ll stay under 4 goals due to the weaker attacking play of both teams. Rabona is offering reasonable odds on this combination.
