Las Palmas vs Alaves Predictions & Tips ahead of this clash in La Liga on Sunday. Can Alaves continue a strong finish in their final game?
Las Palmas are enduring a poor run towards the end of the La Liga season and will be eyeing a lift when they host Alaves. While survival is guaranteed for both sides, finishing with a bang remains a top priority, especially for the home side. Las Palmas secured their place in La Liga after holding Cadiz to a 0-0 draw in their last outing. While that result came with its positives, it left Las Palmas without a win in their last 13 matches. Eight of those matches ended in defeat and their recent outcome left them without a goal in four of five games. In their last meeting with Alaves, back in December, Las Palmas registered a 1-0 win. They will really have to pack something special, in their current form, to beat Alaves again. It is not just their form in attack, Las Palmas have also been poor defensively coming into this game. They have just one clean sheet in their last 13 matches. There will be really little motivation coming from their home form, Las Palmas having lost four times in their last five matches at Gran Canaria.
Alaves, on the other hand, look set to finish the season on a high. Their recent form suggests they could end their three-game winless run against Las Palmas here. They failed to score in the last two meetings with Las Palmas but the visitors head into this one as firm favorites. An early Carlos Vicente strike was all they needed in the last outing, to down Getafe 1-0 at home. Their hopes for a place in Europe ended much earlier but a top half finish would do their confidence well. Alaves need a win here to guarantee finishing in the top 10. They come here loaded with four wins in their last six matches. The only time in that run that they suffered defeat was the 5-0 thumping away to Real Madrid, which is understandable. Their 1-0 win over Getafe didn’t only mark a return to winning ways, it was also their fourth clean sheet in six games. In five of their last 10 matches, they’ve posted wins with clean sheets.
