Las Palmas vs Leganes Prediction 18 May 2025
🔊 Can Leganes seize their last chance to stay in the top flight? One of the most intriguing fixtures of La Liga's Matchday 37 is the clash between the teams at the bottom of the table. Las Palmas, already relegated to Segunda, will face Leganes on the pitch at "Gran Canaria". Borja Jimenez's squad still have a slim hope of survival, but to achieve that, they must secure victories in the remaining matches.
Head-to-Head
📊 Let's break down the stats from the last 10 head-to-head clashes: Las Palmas have secured 3 victories, there have been 2 draws, and Leganés have come out on top 5 times. Notably, at the Estadio Gran Canaria, Leganés have only triumphed twice in their history. The last time this happened was during the 2017/18 La Liga season with a 2-0 win. In the first round of the current season, Las Palmas suffered a setback at Butarque, losing 1-2.
Head-to-head statistics Las Palmas - Leganes
Las Palmas Team Overview
🟡 Las Palmas have completely faltered during a crucial stretch of the season. Four consecutive defeats have dashed their hopes of staying in Spain's top flight. The most disappointing was their recent 0-1 loss to Sevilla. Diego Martinez's squad failed to turn their positional advantage into chances, as evidenced by an xG of just 0.34. Las Palmas's inability to maintain consistency throughout the season has been their biggest issue in the fight for survival. Even at home, "Los Amarillos" have been unconvincing, collecting only 17 points from 18 matches, ranking 19th in the league.

Leganes Team Overview
🔵 The setback against Villarreal (0-3) in the last round has complicated Leganés' survival mission. However, their mathematical chances of staying up remain intact. Currently, the "Pepineros" trail the coveted 17th spot by 4 points. A major issue for the club from the eponymous city is their dismal away performance, having collected just 12 points from 18 games (ranking 19th in the league). Notably, in their last 3 matches, Leganés have conceded at least 2 goals.

Latest news
Las Palmas
📣 Diego Martinez at the latest press conference: "I want to extend our deepest apologies to the fans. We understand how they feel right now. We've let them down. Once the season concludes, it will be time for a more thorough analysis. The match unfolded as we had planned, but a long-range free-kick shifted the balance. We believed in our chances. The disallowed goal was controversial, yet this season has truly gone against us-it seemed destined to be that way. I'm the first to acknowledge defeat and the last to celebrate victory-I take full responsibility as the coach."
📝 Following their relegation from La Liga, the future of Las Palmas' key players remains uncertain. For instance, Atletico Madrid have shown serious interest in Fabio Silva. Whether Oliver McBurnie is willing to spend the next season in the Segunda Division is also unclear. These players are among the club's top scorers in this season's La Liga.
❌ In the upcoming match, Las Palmas will have to cope without Mika Marmol due to suspension. Meanwhile, Kirian Rodriguez and Fabio Silva remain sidelined with injuries.
Leganes
📣 Borja Jiménez evaluated his team's performance after the match against Villarreal (0-3): "We played well at times, even dominated, but our attacking was poor. We lacked vigilance and decision-making skills. For every mistake we made, the opponent responded immediately with a biting attack. Against Villarreal, it's unacceptable not to capitalize on your chances and to leave the opponent in the game. We need to reach 40 points. That's what we can control. Thinking about what's happening or not happening with others is pointless. And if it doesn't help us, at least we'll be confident that we've done everything possible. As long as there's a chance, there's hope. We'll fight for those 40 points we're aiming for, starting with 3 points on Sunday in Las Palmas."
🔝 Dani Raba is in excellent form. In his last 8 matches, he's contributed to 6 goals (4 goals and 2 assists). It's worth noting that the Spanish forward's contract with Leganés expires in June this year. This means that if the "Pepineros" face relegation, other top-division teams might show interest in him.
❌ Leganés' injury list still includes Borna Barišić (knee injury) and Enric Franquesa (knee injury).
🟨 Prediction on Yellow Cards
In 7 out of the last 8 head-to-head encounters between these teams, there have been at least 5 yellow cards issued. On average, clashes between Las Palmas and Leganes see around 7.6 warnings. It's crucial to consider the context of their upcoming meeting-Leganes are in a survival battle and desperately need points, willing to go to great lengths. We suggest focusing on the following bet: total yellow cards over 4.5.
⚽️ Prediction on Goals
It's intriguing how intensity and emotions take center stage in these matchups. The average goal tally is just 2.3 per game. This season, both teams struggle with converting chances: Las Palmas score 1.1 goals per match, while Leganes manage around 1. We recommend the following betting option: total goals under 3.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
In each of the last 5 head-to-head games, there have been no more than 10 corner kicks. The teams average only 7.6 corners per match. This trend is evident in most of their games this season. Our editorial team anticipates a vertical style of play from both sides with minimal threat from the flanks. We highlight the following bet: total corners under 10.
Editor's Prediction
Las Palmas continue to play without their main attacking force, Fabio Silva, so a sudden surge in scoring is unlikely. Especially considering their opponents, Leganes, are desperate for points. Our bet is on Las Palmas to score under 1.5 goals, a result that has occurred in the last three head-to-head encounters between these teams.
