Betting on Las Palmas (+2,000)

Las Palmas are sure of La Liga football for next season. They are currently 14th in the table, 12 points clear of the relegation zone with just two games remaining.

They have been safe for some time now, which is probably a big reason why their form has plummeted over the past few months. Las Palmas have just one win in their last eight games (1-1-6), and have lost their last three in a row by a combined score of 9-0.

Las Palmas’ home form has been their salvation this season. Nine of their 10 wins have come at home, and are 3-1-1 in their last five. But even with their good play at home, it’ll obviously be a tough task to pick up a positive result against a Barcelona team that still has a lot to play for late in the season.

Betting on Barcelona (-2,000)

Barcelona’s title hopes are still very much alive as they’ve managed to keep the pressure on Real Madrid at the top of the table. After getting that big win over Real in El Clasico to claim a share of the league lead, Barca have simply battered their next three opponents: Osasuna (7-1), city rivals Espanyol (3-0), and Villarreal (4-1).

Lionel Messi has predictably been right in the middle of their success. Messi has six goals and an assist in his last four games, including two in the win over Villarreal. Luis Suarez has also rediscovered his scoring touch after an extended goal drought with three goals in his last two.

Messi and Suarez combined for three goals in Barca’s 5-0 drubbing of Las Palmas at the Camp Nou earlier this season. It was their third win in a row over Las Palmas since they returned to La Liga last season. Barca is undefeated in seven all-time meetings between the two clubs (five wins, two draws).

Writer’s Prediction

Barca take care of business as they pour it on against Las Palmas in a 5-0 win. With the moneyline odds reaching astronomical levels, take the total to go OVER 4.5 goals for better value.
