Las Palmas have enjoyed a commendable season upon their return to the first division positioning themselves comfortably in the elite and likely securing their stay for the foreseeable future.
Currently occupying the 12th spot on the table with 37 points to their name they find themselves in the top half trailing just behind Villarreal by a narrow margin.
However, recent form raises some concerns with the Canary Islands outfit enduring a six-match winless streak including three consecutive losses. These defeats, against Bilbao (0-2), Almeria (0-1), and most recently Barcelona (1-0), highlight a challenging period for the team.
On the other side, Sevilla FC faces the task of securing their place in La Liga for the upcoming season, despite disappointments in both domestic and European competitions.
Currently placed 14th in the league standings, the Andalusian club has encountered setbacks, finishing fourth in their Champions League group and exiting the Copa del Rey in the quarter-finals against Atlético Madrid.
However, a recent victory over Getafe (0-1) signals a potential turnaround, following draws against Almeria (2-2) and Celta Vigo (1-2).
Sevilla will be without starting goalkeeper Valles and right-back Julian Araujo, who is sidelined due to injury. However, the squad remains formidable, boasting talents such as French midfielder Enzo Loiodice, Moroccan forward Munir El Haddadi, and striker Kirian Rodriguez.
Despite facing challenges, including the absence of left-back Acuna due to suspension, Sevilla’s key players like Marcao and En-Nesyri will be integral to their performance.
As both teams prepare to clash, Las Palmas seeks to break their winless streak and consolidate their position in the top flight, while Sevilla aims to secure vital points to ensure their La Liga status for the next season. With both sides eager for success, the encounter promises to be a compelling battle on the pitch.
