- Fixture: Sevilla vs Las Palmas (La Liga 2024/25, Matchday 36)
- Date: Tuesday, 13 May 2025
- Venue: Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, Seville
Match Preview
Sevilla and Las Palmas face off at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in a true relegation six-pointer, with both sides fighting desperately for survival as the La Liga season nears its dramatic conclusion. The seven-time Europa League champions have not played in the second tier since 2000/01, but unless they can halt their slide, history could repeat itself. Las Palmas, meanwhile, arrive in Seville third from bottom and in even deeper trouble, sitting inside the relegation zone with matches running out.
Sevilla come into this match after a narrow 3-2 defeat away at Celta Vigo, a result that extended their recent winless run. Their last home outing ended in a 2-2 draw against Leganés, making it back-to-back draws at the Sánchez Pizjuán. The Andalusians have struggled for consistency all season, with only 9 wins from 35 matches, alongside 11 draws and 15 defeats. Their attack has been underwhelming, with a persistent issue of failing to score more than one goal in their last nine league games. However, their head-to-head record against Las Palmas is encouraging, with Sevilla unbeaten in their last five meetings and having won eight of the last twelve encounters.
Las Palmas are coming off a 1-0 home defeat to Rayo Vallecano, which marked their 19th loss of the campaign. The Canary Islanders have found wins hard to come by, recording just 8 victories in 35 matches, and their away form has been particularly concerning. Their recent results show a team struggling for both goals and confidence, and they have conceded in each of their last nine games against Sevilla. Despite these struggles, Las Palmas managed a 2-2 draw in their most recent meeting with Sevilla earlier this season, showing they can be competitive on their day.
In terms of team news, Sevilla are set to have most of their key players available, with no major new injury or suspension concerns reported ahead of this fixture. Las Palmas, however, are dealing with a lengthy list of doubts and injuries. Players such as Viti Rozada, Andy Pelmard, Marvin Park, Sandro, and Adnan Januzaj are all listed as doubtful due to various fitness issues, which could limit their options, especially in attack and midfield. This could further tilt the balance in Sevilla’s favor, particularly with the home advantage.
Key Players
Sevilla:
- Dodi Lukebakio: The Belgian forward is Sevilla’s top scorer this season with 11 goals and remains their most consistent attacking threat.
- Isaac Romero: With 3 goals and 3 assists, Romero’s versatility in the final third is vital for Sevilla’s link-up play.
- Loïc Badé: The defender has contributed at both ends, scoring important goals and providing leadership at the back.
Las Palmas:
- Fábio Silva: The Portuguese striker leads Las Palmas with 10 goals and 3 assists, making him their primary goal threat.
- Alberto Moleiro: A creative spark in midfield, Moleiro has chipped in with 6 goals and 2 assists and will be key to unlocking Sevilla’s defense.
- Oliver McBurnie: While not prolific, McBurnie’s physical presence and 6 assists make him a focal point for Las Palmas’s attack.
Prediction
Given Sevilla’s strong home record against Las Palmas and the visitors’ injury concerns, the hosts are favorites to take all three points. Both teams have struggled for form, but Sevilla’s slightly superior defensive record and attacking options should see them edge this contest. Expect a tight game, but Sevilla’s home advantage and Las Palmas’s depleted squad could prove decisive.
Predicted score: Sevilla 2-0 Las Palmas.
