Our RCD Espanyol vs Las Palmas prediction is influenced by the bookmakers’ clear favourites at 1.37 to beat Las Palmas on the Canary Islands in a bottom-six La Liga 2024-2025 clash on Saturday with the visitors available at 9.00 to take the points. Neither side will have any confidence of taking the points, however, as both clubs have been in such poor form and have not picked up a point in their previous five La Liga matches. This RCD Espanyol vs Las Palmas preview highlights that the home side has lost their last three games against Leganes (3-2), Barcelona (0-2) and Osasuna (2-0), while Las Palmas has lost their previous three matches to Rayo Vallecano (0-1), Sevilla (1-0) and Leganes (0-1).
Espanyol boss Manolo Gonzalez, who took over in March 2024, has looked to get his side back to their roots of being a well-disciplined and compact unit that can hit on the counter-attack or from set-pieces. Javier Puado is Espanyol’s main man in the attack with 11 goals in 34 La Liga matches this season, but Martin Braithwaite will also be looking to make his mark by creating chances and moving the ball around to disrupt the opposition. Las Palmas boss Diego Martinez has stuck to his guns in trying to maintain his side’s attacking intent, although they have lost three in La Liga since he took over in October 2024. These RCD Espanyol vs Las Palmas betting tips highlight that striker Fabio Silva is their main attacking threat with 10 goals in 24 appearances, but Alberto Moleiro brings flair and energy on the wing while Kirian Rodriguez controls the midfield from deep.
The contrasting styles of play these two clubs employ could lead to a cagey affair, but the desperation to end their losing streaks should mean this is a tense and physical contest with the odd moment of brilliance making the difference. This RCD Espanyol vs Las Palmas prediction suggests Espanyol should have enough to edge it like the RCD Espanyol vs Las Palmas odds suggest, but with neither side looking sharp at the moment we’re going to take the under 2.5 goals line, which aligns with Gonzalez’s pragmatic approach.
