Las Palmas remains winless so far in 2025. The remarkable beginning to Diego Martinez’s tenure as manager of the “palms” has evolved into a protracted crisis. Currently, the squad from the Canary Islands is in the relegation zone and is 3 points adrift of the elusive 17th position. These cumulative losses are taking a toll on the mental health of the players. One possible indicator is minimal control over a given environment. For example, in the last 8 fixtures, Las Palmas have been shown the red card in 4. The 5-2-2-1 formation designed to curb the scoring of the opponent’s team is not successful either. Its hallmark is putting players into close spaces, which in theory, should sop the opposing team’s strikers from moving freely. We should point out that due to yellow card accumulation, Dario Essugo and Viti will not play in the next match. At the same time, Mika Marmol, Andi Pelmar and Benito Ramirez remain on the list of casualties.
In the last round of La Liga, Alaves achieved a milestone victory as they defeated Villarreal 1-0. Alaves managing to hold onto their victory, even with nine men, is commendable. That said, the side from Vitoria-Gasteiz is now one point away from being safe. Eduardo Coudet has not altered his philosophy as he operates with a 4-4-2 formation. While out of possession, the shape morphs into a 4-1-4-1, which helps occupy spaces and makes it easier to progress the ball over the half. The destroyers’ designated ‘number 6’ is Antonio Blanco. His effort is crucial, especially in the latter half when he has to do a lot of covering. Regrettably, for this match, the Spaniard is unable to assist the team for this round due to suspension. For the same reasons, Moussa Diarra and Antonio Sivera are not available either. The list of absentees includes Tomas Konechny, Hugo Novoa-Ramos, and Jesus Owono.
