Leganes vs Las Palmas prediction: Hosts to win low-scoring game
Key stats
- Our Leganes vs Las Palmas betting tips take into account that it’s 15 league matches without a win for the visitors.
- The Canary Islanders have managed to score just once in their last five away league fixtures.
- Leganes have lost just one of their last 20 competitive home games.
Correct score prediction: Leganes 1-0 Las Palmas
Following some key departures and a poor ending to last season, Las Palmas look worthy of their status as relegation favourites. Leganes are likely to be down there too but they only let in 0.64 goals per game in the second tier last term and after a bright showing on the opening weekend, they might just edge this.

- HOME: 5/4 (2.25) – 44.4%
- DRAW: 19/10 (2.90) – 34.5%
- AWAY: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%

Player to watch – Oli McBurnie
It was a lively debut from Oli McBurnie for Las Palmas last week with the Scottish striker forcing an own goal in a committed display which saw him win six aerial challenges.
McBurnie looks set for prominent role
There are relatively few British players in La Liga, but McBurnie is expected to play a big role in what’s likely to be a relegation scrap for Las Palmas. He averaged a goal contribution every 143 minutes for Sheffield United in the Premier League last term.
