Barcelona, have got their campaign back on track after a brief hiccup in January, when they lost three games. Blaugrana are undefeated in their last ten outings in all competitions, recording seven wins in the period. Xavi’s men put three goals past Atletico at Wanda Metropolitano last time out thanks to one effort each from Joao Felix, Robert Lewandowski and Fermin Lopez. It was their 19th league-win of the season and third successive victory in all competitions. Moreover, the Catalan club has also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League courtesy of defeating Napoli 4-2 in the two legged round of 16 tie earlier this month.
Las Palmas, on the other hand, have recorded ten wins, seven draws and 12 defeats from 29 La Liga games this term and their last success came against Valencia on February 10. since then, Los Amarillos have gone on a five-game winless run in the top flight, including three defats against the likes of Atletico, Athletic Bilbao and Almeria with an overall score of 8-0. Meanwhile, despite the poor run of form, Garcia Pimienta’s side are only five points away from the top seven. Therefore it could still be an impressive campaign for them as they have never finished higher than 11th in La Liga Santander since claiming sixth in 1978-79.
