Las Palmas:
Las Palmas concluded 2023 on a positive note despite a defeat to Athletic Bilbao, marking a commendable return to La Liga. With a record of seven wins, four draws, and seven losses, they sit just three points away from the top seven, showcasing defensive resilience by conceding only 15 goals, a feat surpassed only by joint leaders Real Madrid. The team has been particularly strong at home, losing only one of their eight matches at the Estadio de Gran Canaria this season. Las Palmas aims to secure another upset against Barcelona, a team they haven't beaten since a Copa del Rey tie in February 1991.
Barcelona:
Barcelona, on the other hand, navigated a challenging end to 2023, dropping points in three of their last five La Liga matches. Starting the new year seven points behind joint leaders Real Madrid and Girona, they hope to capitalize on away form, being one of two teams yet to lose on the road this season. Although they were held to draws in recent away games, Barcelona maintains an unbeaten record. Despite a draw in their last meeting with Las Palmas in March 2018, Barcelona draws inspiration from their five consecutive victories in previous encounters. The team's determination will be tested as they aim to resume the year with a positive result.
Analysis:
Las Palmas will face Barcelona without the injured Alvaro Lemos, and doubts linger over Fabio Gonzalez and Alberto Moleiro. Alex Suarez is expected to replace the ineligible Julian Araujo, who cannot play against his parent club due to loan agreement terms. Saul Coco, set to join the Equatorial Guinea squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, will play his final game for Las Palmas. Barcelona will be without Pedri due to ongoing recovery from a muscle injury, along with Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Inigo Martinez, Marcos Alonso, and Gavi. Frenkie de Jong returns from suspension, and newcomers Jules Kounde, Ferran Torres, and Vitor Roque, pending paperwork completion, could feature in Thursday's clash.
