With predictions hinting at a potential win or draw for the home side, fans are eagerly anticipating how the match will unfold, especially considering the intriguing undercurrents of form and historical matchups.

Key Players

Atletico Madrid, sitting comfortably at 4th in the league with a Champions League spot in their grasp, will be relying heavily on their star players to cement their position. Memphis Depay, the attacker with a rating of 6.84, has been a consistent threat upfront, boasting 4 goals and an assist. His ability to find the back of the net will be crucial in breaking down Las Palmas' defense.

In the backline, Nahuel Molina Lucero, also rated at 6.84, has been a defensive rock with 2 goals to his name, showcasing his threat on set-pieces. His dual role in defense and attack adds depth to Atletico's gameplay.

The midfield dynamism comes from Rodrigo Riquelme Reche, whose rating mirrors his teammates', and with 2 goals and 3 assists, his role in linking play cannot be overstated.

For Las Palmas, standing at 9th in the rankings, the spotlight falls on Cristian Ignacio Herrera Pérez, an attacker who, despite a rating of 6.56, could be the wildcard for his team. With precise passing and a goal to his tally, he could prove pivotal.

The midfield support comes from Benito Ramírez del Toro, with a rating of 6.61 and an eye for crucial passes, and Sory Kaba, an attacker who brings versatility and an additional goal threat to the side.

Recent Form

Atletico Madrid's form has been impressive, with a string of victories marked by a single loss in their last five outings (WWWLW). Their home record is particularly daunting, with no losses and a strong goal difference. Las Palmas, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results with two wins, a draw, and two losses (DLWWL), suggesting they may find it challenging to navigate the robust Atletico defense.

Head-to-Head History

The head-to-head record tilts in favor of Atletico Madrid, with the last encounter ending in a narrow 2-1 victory for Las Palmas on November 3, 2023. While this might give Las Palmas some confidence, the historical dominance of Atletico, especially at home, cannot be ignored.
