- Zaragoza have a poor home record in LaLiga 2, winning two, drawing two, and losing five of their nine fixtures at La Romareda this season.
- Las Palmas have won two, drawn two, and lost just one of their last five LaLiga 2 matches.
- Las Palmas have conceded just four goals in nine away LaLiga 2 fixtures this season (0.44 per game).
Can Las Palmas get a grip on LaLiga 2?
They look set to drop out of LaLiga 2 at the end of the 2025-2026 season if they can’t overcome second-placed Las Palmas on Sunday. The visitors arrive as 2.52 favourites to add to Zaragoza’s relegation woes, with the hosts a distant 3.23 outsiders.
This fixture pits two teams at opposing ends of the LaLiga 2 table against one another, with Las Palmas sitting second with 34 points from 19 games while our Real Zaragoza vs Las Palmas prediction takes into account that Zaragoza are 21st with just 17 points from the same number of matches.
Ruben Selles took over in October 2025 and has made a real job of stabilising a side which looked on course for relegation. Selles has installed a pragmatic, counter-attacking style, with the team set up to be compact and difficult to break down and making the most of the space they can create on the counter.
Garcia has made Las Palmas a tough nut to crack
Las Palmas, on the other hand, have taken the opposite approach to building a team and success since Luis Garcia’s appointment as manager in July 2025. Garcia has built a fluid 4-3-3 unit which has the ball for large periods of the game and can control the tempo and territory of most matches.
Garcia has instilled a sense of tactical discipline in the squad which was not there before, making Las Palmas a very well-drilled outfit on their day. The manner in which they dismantled Cultural Leonesa 4-0 at home two starts ago was a masterclass in how to build a patient, possession-based win, and the subsequent 1-1 away draw at AD Ceuta FC was also no mean feat, given the difficulty of the fixture. In this Real Zaragoza vs Las Palmas preview, we can see Garcia’s strong tactical imprint is clear, setting expectations for another disciplined performance.
Sides look set to neutralise each other
Las Palmas have failed to win their last two away matches, drawing one and losing one, but Zaragoza have a home record of won two, drawn two, and lost five, and have been particularly weak at home this campaign. This Real Zaragoza vs Las Palmas prediction suggests Zaragoza's struggles at home could play a decisive role. They enter this fixture on the back of a 1-2 home defeat to Cadiz and a 1-1 away draw at Burgos CF, and Las Palmas’ superior form, position in the table, and away defensive record suggest the Canary Islanders can earn all three points on Sunday.
This is a possession-versus-counter game, a classic rivalry, and the two sides are likely to neutralise each other to an extent, so the both teams to score bet at 1.67 seems good value given the importance of the points available to both sides. This Real Zaragoza vs Las Palmas betting tips section highlights Las Palmas' best attacking threat in Ale Garcia, who has five LaLiga 2 goals in 14 appearances this term, while Daniel Gomez has three goals in 15 as Zaragoza’s main marksman.
A 1-1 draw at La Romareda in the 2022/23 LaLiga 2 campaign saw these sides end up in a stalemate, and with Las Palmas so strong on the road and Zaragoza so poor in their own home ground, a repeat result looks likely according to the final Real Zaragoza vs Las Palmas prediction.
