With poor form holding them down, Athletic make a long trip to Tenerife to face Las Palmas in a tricky match. This La Liga match will be played at the Gran Canaria Stadium on Sunday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are eighth with 37 points, while the visitors are fifth with 50 points. Five points separate Las Palmas from sixth-placed Real Betis, which is still an addressable gap. They would need to improve their recent form to do that, though, as the hosts have won just one of their last six league games. Three of those ended with a draw, however, which indicates that they could be a stubborn opponent. At home, Las Palmas have a slightly improved record, with four wins and two draws from their last eight league matches at this venue.

Athletic start this round five points behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid, but they need better results to improve their chances. They held Barcelona to a 0-0 draw last time out, which came on the back of a 3-1 loss to Real Betis. It hasn’t been a good sequence of matches recently for the visitors, who have won only two of their last seven La Liga games. Three draws are still a good result in this sequence of matches, although they wouldn’t want to drop points here. Athletic edged out the reverse fixture 1-0, but any hopes of repeating a victory here will depend on reversing their poor recent run away from home. They have failed to win any of their last four away league games, drawing and losing two each.
