Find here all the information on this meeting, the probable compositions and the broadcast details.
Barcelona – Las Palmas: the stakes of the match
FC Barcelona is going through a delicate period in the league, with a defeat against Real Sociedad (1-0) and a frustrating draw against the Celta Vigo (2-2). Although still at the top of La Liga, the Catalans cannot afford to lose more points or risk seeing their pursuers get dangerously close. This match against Las Palmas is crucial to regain confidence before the rest of the season.
For its part, Las Palmas is struggling to stay in La Liga. Currently 17th in the rankingthe Canary Islands team enjoyed a resurgence in form with three consecutive victories before the break. However, a defeat against Majorca last weekend (3-2) reminded us of the fragilities of this formation. Against Barça, the objective will be to resist and, if possible, obtain a positive result.
The forms of the teams
FC Barcelona started the season with a bang, but its latest performances in La Liga leave something to be desired. Against Celta Vigo, the men of Hansi Flick squandered a two-goal lead in the final ten minutes, a worrying scenario for a title contender. The defeat at Real Sociedad just before the break also highlighted an attack lacking inspiration. However, in Champions LeagueBarça found a smile again with a clear and flawless victory against Brest (3-0), driven by a double of Lewandowski. The Catalans hope to regain their usual solidity and creativity for this meeting against Las Palmas.
Las Palmas, promoted this season, had a difficult start before turning things around with three consecutive league victories. This burst of pride allowed the Yellow and Blue to temporarily leave the relegation zone. However, the defeat against Mallorca, despite goals from Essugo and Fabio Silva, showed that this team is still struggling to manage key moments of matches. Traveling to Barcelona, Las Palmas will aim to remain compact defensively and rely on their individualities to surprise the leader.
The different absences
Hansi Flick will once again have to deal with many absentees. Goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, defender Christensen, and striker Ansu Fati are still unavailable, while Casado is suspended after his red card against the Celta Vigo. Baldé, uncertain, could nevertheless appear in the group. On the other hand, Lamine Yamal, injured before the break, could make his returnwhich would be good news for the offensive animation of the Catalans. Robert Lewandowski, in great form, will spearhead the attack, accompanied by Raphinha and Dani Olmo.
Las Palmas travels to Catalonia with a almost full staff. The only uncertainty concerns Adnan Januzaj, in physical delicacy. The coach will count on his offensive leaders, notably Fabio Silva and Sandro Ramirez, to pose problems for the Barcelona defense. The doorman Jasper Cillessen, formerly of Barça, will certainly want to shine against his former club.
