Barca will try to secure 3 important points against absolute underdog
Barcelona’s form
Barcelona have not lost since January 27, the same historic evening when they beat Villarreal (3:5) and Xavi announced his retirement at the end of the season. After this, the Blaugrana, with difficulty, but still put the finishing touches on Osasuna (1:0), and in the next month they steadily alternated victories with draws: they dealt with Alaves (3:1), Celta (2:1) , Getafe (4:0) and Mallorca (1:0), but between them stumbled at Granada (3:3), Napoli (1:1) and Athletic (0:0).

The trend was interrupted by the return with the Neapolitans in the 1/8 of the Champions League: the Catalans scored two goals already in the first half, Fermin Lopez and João Cancelo scored. Amir Rrahmani’s shot in the 30th minute did not bother the hosts at all – in the second half they allowed the opponent to create only one dangerous chance, Matias Olivera shook the crossbar in the 89th minute. Before this, the Blaugrana had already restored their two-goal advantage – Robert Lewandowski completed a beautiful attack with the participation of Gundogan. Thus, Barça ended Napoli’s streak of six matches without defeat and slipped into the quarterfinals of the main European club tournament, which it had not reached for four years.
Las Palmas chances
By all standards, Las Palmas is not having a bad season, but lately, it has not been so easy for them to achieve a positive result, and by the way, the team has not been able to win 4 matches in a row. And here it is necessary to note that if in general there are few complaints about the team on the defensive side, then there are questions about the attacking side, because Las Palmas converts on average only 1.04 chances, and due to such infrequent scoring completions, the club often loses much-needed points.
Before the start of Sunday’s pool, Las Palmas was in 10th place in the championship standings with 37 points. Apparently, the future home team is not in danger of relegation, but their place in the European Cup zone is 9 points away.
Match prediction
Of course, in terms of reliability, Las Palmas looks much more solid in the current gaming year, but in this situation, you need to understand the main thing that the class of opponents is incomparable. However, after difficult matches in the Champions League, it will be difficult for Barca to give their all. It is clear that they will not relax. The position in the standings does not allow it.
