The La Liga leaders are odds-on favourites for a win on the island of Gran Canaria and we think they will pick up all three points without conceding

Thursday night's encounter at the Estadio Gran Canaria is a crucial game at both ends of the La Liga table.

Barcelona will look to avoid dropping any points ahead of their top of the table clash with Atletico Madrid on Sunday evening, whilst Las Palmas could move out of the relegation zone with a win.

Team news

Barcelona have Jordi Alba suspended for the game, while Nelson Semedo is out with an injury picked up in the weekend win over Girona.

Luis Suarez is one booking away from suspension, meaning he could be rested ahead of the visit of Atletico on Sunday.

Las Palmas will be without defender Pedro Bigas and midfielder Momo, who are both injured.

Las Palmas to struggle at both ends

With the second worst attack in La Liga and the division's most leaky defence, it is hardly surprising that Las Palmas are in a relegation battle.

The sale of talisman Jonathan Viera ten days ago has considerably weakened the side, and a team that has scored 18 goals in 25 games will only be worse off without someone of his quality.

That tally of goals scored is unlikely to increase on Thursday night, with Barca boasting the best away defensive record in the Spanish top flight - six goals conceded in 13 games.
