Espanyol vs Las Palmas: La Liga Prediction (24.05.2025)

On May 24, 2025, at 23:30 WIB, the final match of the Spanish championship will take place between Espanyol and Las Palmas. Bookmakers clearly favor the home team. Let’s take a look at the current form of both teams and provide our prediction for the match.

Espanyol

The Parakeets are in a difficult situation. Heading into the final round, the team is in 17th place in the standings, just two points above the relegation zone. Espanyol’s recent form is also a concern. Manolo Gonzalo’s side has lost five consecutive matches, while Leganes — right behind them — is in good shape, having lost just one of their last five games.

Nevertheless, Espanyol are very resilient at home. In their last five matches in front of their fans, they only lost to Barcelona and Real Betis. The squad has no major injury problems. The only confirmed absentee is Brian Olivan, who has been out since January.

Las Palmas

For Las Palmas, this upcoming match will be their farewell to the top division — at least for the coming season. The team sits second from the bottom in the league and has no chance of survival. Las Palmas is quite an entertaining side, playing an attacking style, but they lacked consistency. A late-season slump also had a big impact. The team didn’t have enough stamina to endure the entire season.

Additionally, they lost their top scorer Fábio Silva (10 goals + 3 assists) to injury. As a result, Diego Martínez’s men have lost their last five matches in a row, which cost them their place in La Liga.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

This season, the two sides met in an official match for the first time since 2021, when they were both in the second division. Their encounter in round 18 ended with a 1–0 home win for Las Palmas.

Prediction

In the Espanyol vs Las Palmas match, it makes sense to back the home team to win. Espanyol still has motivation, unlike their opponent. However, the Parakeets’ current form doesn’t suggest an easy victory. Therefore, an interesting option is to bet on Las Palmas with a +1.5 handicap at odds of 1.84.
