Form & Streaks

Las Palmas have won 7 of their last 10 league matches, showing elite momentum heading into the playoffs.

Malaga are unbeaten in 4 of their last 5 matches (3W, 1D, 1L) across all competitions.

Las Palmas have lost just 1 of their last 10 league matches at home (6W, 3D, 1L).

Tactical Overview

This semi-final pits two of the division's most inform sides against each other, both having secured 70% and 50% win rates respectively in their last 10 league matches. Las Palmas have been formidable at home, winning 6 of their last 10 league matches at the Gran Canaria, including a vital 2-1 victory over Valladolid. However, they face a Malaga attack that is currently trending at a massive 2.26 xG created per game in recent form, significantly higher than the league average. Malaga comes into this with psychological momentum after a 2-0 win over Las Palmas in April and a recent 2-0 away win against Zaragoza. While Las Palmas typically dominate the ball with a 54% possession rate in recent matches, they must account for the clinical finishing of Chupe, who recently netted a brace. The tactical battle will likely center on whether Mika Màrmol can stabilize a defense that has struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only a 20% shutout rate in their last 10 league outings.
