Las Palmas vs Leganes Best odds and tips

Two teams that have struggled to adapt to the demands of La Liga 2024-2025 face off on Sunday when Las Palmas, 19th with 32 points from 35 games, host Leganes, 18th with 34 points. Las Palmas have had a poor run of form, losing three in a row, the last two being at home, 2-3 to Valencia and 0-1 to Rayo Vallecano. Leganes come into the game unbeaten in three after a 1-1 home draw with Girona, a 2-2 draw at Sevilla and a 3-2 win over Espanyol. Diego Martinez has done a good job since taking over as Las Palmas head coach in October 2024, installing a high-pressing, high-tempo game that gets the ball back quickly and transitions rapidly to attack. But he has yet to get the results that the team need to avoid the drop. Borja Jimenez has done a great job since taking over Leganes in June 2023, moulding a disciplined, defensively solid side that can be tough to break down, especially away from home. They will sit deep, absorb pressure and look to hit on the counterattack.

The hosts are favourites at 1.95, with Leganes coming in at 4.425, so the home side are clear favourites to win the match. But given Las Palmas have lost three in a row and Leganes have only lost one of their last five, the home side’s odds look a bit short. A draw would be no surprise in this game, but it is more likely that the visitors can nick it because of their defensive solidity and the fact that Leganes have the edge in the last two La Liga head-to-head meetings, winning 2-1 at home eight months ago. Both teams have been involved in plenty of low-scoring games this season and with Las Palmas looking to press and Leganes looking to sit deep and play a slow, low-risk game, the ‘Under 2.5 goals’ market looks a good play here.
