Las Palmas vs Atletico Madrid Preview

• Tournament: La Liga

• Venue: Estadio Gran Canaria, Las Palmas

Atletico Madrid look to keep themselves alive in the 2024/25 La Liga title race when they travel to the Canary Islands to face a relegation-battling Las Palmas side. The Las Palmas vs Atletico Madrid clash in La Liga will take place on Saturday, April 19 at 19:00 PM GMT.

Las Palmas have been troubled by inconsistency over the course of the season. This has left them lingering in 18th position in the league table with only 29 points acquired from 31 games, out of which they have lost 16 matches! However, their recent win over Getafe (their first in last five matches), has left them only a point behind 17th place Alaves.

That gives a bigger reason to belief for the Las Palmas players to get a big win over a team like Atletico Madrid, which can help them get out of the relegation zone. They might have only won three matches at home this season, but Las Palmas' players are now high on confidence after the last win. Diego Martinez will urge his side to take the fight to Atletico Madrid, producing some smart counter-attacking football to get maximum return.

Atletico Madrid had to fight hard to get their recent 4-2 win over Real Valladolid. This has kept them in 3rd place with 63 points from 31 league games, but they're still seven points behind Barcelona. All Diego Simeone's side can do right now is focus on winning their remaining matches and hope for a miracle for their rivals to slip up.

Los Rojiblancos have won just two of their last five league games and have seven away wins in La Liga this season, including one against Barcelona. Simeone will want his players to be defensively more sturdier than they've been in recent weeks and be at their explosive best in combinining smartly in the attack to produce an entertaining display.

Key Players to Watch in Las Palmas vs Atletico Madrid

Fabio Silva (Las Palmas)

The 22-year-old is enjoying a prolific 2024/25 La Liga campaign by spearheading Las Palmas' frontline. Silva has managed a decent 9.03 xG (expected goals) this season, overperforming that with 10 goals!

He has a 40% dribble success rate, showing how dangerous the forward can be in moving the ball forward. Silva will look to use his unpredictability to glide past the Atletico Madrid defenders into key areas. He needs to be at his incisive best in getting at the end of chances and converting them clinically for his side to get a win.

Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)

Antoine Griezmann remains a major unpredictable threat in the forward line for Atletico Madrid, having managed a 6.34 xG this season. He's overperformed that with eight goals and also managed five assists.

He's averaging 1.5 key passes per game, which the Frenchman will look to amplify to trouble Las Palmas. Griezmann will aim to receive the ball in the danger areas in the final third to and slip in clever passes to create chances for teammates, and also look to sneak into the box with his late runs to convert opportunities smartly.

Las Palmas vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

Neither of the two teams have experienced the best of forms over the last month, but both come into this game at the back of big wins. This ensures that this should be a pretty feisty and end-to-end high octane thriller that should be a decent spectacle for the fans.

Atletico Madrid, however, probably have too much of firepower in their attacking front for Las Palmas to keep out.

Los Rojiblancos are flying high on confidence and the sheer quality of the likes of Griezmann and Julian Alvarez could end up overpowering Las Palmas even if they give a tough fight.

Predicted Score: Las Palmas 1-2 Atletico Madrid
