Las Palmas vs Almeria Prediction and Betting Tips
The action continues in round 29 of the Spanish La Liga as Las Palmas and Almeria go head-to-head at the Gran Canaria Stadium on Sunday.
Pepe Mel’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win their last four meetings since February 2021.
Las Palmas suffered a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Athletic Bilbao last Sunday. Garcia Pimienta’s side have now gone four consecutive games without a win, losing twice and claiming two draws since a 2-0 victory over Valencia on February 10.
Despite their slump in form, Las Palmas remain in contention for a place in Europe as they sit ninth in the La Liga table, six points adrift of the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.
Almeria, on the other hand, failed to stop the rot last time out as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Sevilla at the Estadio del Mediterráneo.
Mel’s men have now gone 18 consecutive games without a win across all competitions, losing 11 and claiming seven draws since October’s 2-0 victory over CF Talavera.
With 10 points from 28 matches, Almeria are currently rooted to the bottom of the La Liga table, 14 points away from safety with 10 games to go.

Las Palmas vs Almeria Prediction
