Seeking an immediate response on Sunday lunchtime, Las Palmas will welcome Getafe to the Estadio Gran Canaria.
Las Palmas
Starting with the hosts, watching their Copa del Rey adventure come to an infamous end last weekend as they fell to a 4-0 drumming at the hands of Elche, Las Palmas are seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, signing off 2024 with a gritty 1-0 victory against Espanyol, Diego Martinez’s men have continued to receive a string of plaudits from across Spain’s elite. Skyrocketing themselves away from a looming relegation scrap and now sat within touching distance of breaking into the top-half, Las Palmas have collected 10 points from their previous four La Liga appearances. Springing an almighty upset on November 30th as they claimed a 2-1 win away at Barcelona, Sunday’s hosts will be relishing a return to the Estadio Gran Canaria this weekend.
Las Palmas Team News
Both still dealing with respective injury issues, Las Palmas will be unable to call upon the duo of Daley Sinkgraven and former Real Oviedo striker Viti on Sunday afternoon. Notching five La Liga goals since arriving from Wolves on a season-long loan deal last summer, Fabio Silva will lead the line this weekend.
Settling for a spot on the bench away at Elche last week, former Barcelona shot-stopper Jasper Cillessen will return between the sticks. Former Nottingham Forest defender Scott McKenna will partner Alex Suarez at the back.
Getafe
As for the visitors, although some in Getafe’s camp might have opened up the 2024/25 campaign with their sights set on mounting a genuine top-half charge, the Blues find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap. Opening this weekend’s fixtures holding just a one-point buffer over slipping into the drop zone, Jose Bordalas’ men have lost three of their previous four La Liga appearances. Last seen in top-flight action signing off 2024 with a 1-0 loss at home against Mallorca, the Madrid-based outfit are seeking a much-needed clinical edge in the final third. Including another 1-0 defeat against a high-flying Atletico Madrid on December 15th, Getafe have drawn a blank in five of their previous seven La Liga showdowns.
Getafe Team News
Heading into Sunday’s showdown, Getafe have reported a clean bill of health and have no fresh injury concerns. Both returning from respective issues against Mallorca prior to Spain’s festive break, the duo of Carles Alena and former Real Madrid youngster Borja Mayoral should feature here.
Handed a Copa del Rey rest away at Granada last weekend, Paraguay international Omar Alderete should be handed a full recall at the back. Arriving from Real Sociedad on a permanent basis last summer, ex-Bournemouth defender Diego Rico will start at left-back.
Las Palmas vs Getafe Key Factors to Consider
- When Las Palmas and Getafe last met back in March 2024, Sunday’s opponents played out a sensational 3-3 stalemate in Madrid.
- Las Palmas claimed a 2-0 victory when they last welcomed Getafe to the Estadio Gran Canaria back in December 2023.

Conclusion
Suffering major Copa del Rey heartbreak last weekend, Las Palmas will certainly be excited to make a return to home soil here. Mustering 10 points from their previous four La Liga appearances, Sunday’s hosts are looking to find a route into the top-half of the table. With their recent purple patch highlighted by a famous 2-1 victory away at Barcelona on November 30th, Getafe should have another tricky test on their hands. Suffering a 2-0 defeat when they last travelled to the Estadio Gran Canaria in December 2023, we are backing a home draw no bet here.
