The 2023-24 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Las Palmas lock horns with Xavi’s Barcelona side in a crucial encounter at the Montjuic on Saturday.
Barcelona vs Las Palmas Preview
Las Palmas are currently in 11th place in the La Liga standings and have been plagued by inconsistency so far this season. The away side suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Almeria last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have improved in recent weeks. The Catalan giants eased past Atletico Madrid by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.

Barcelona vs Las Palmas Prediction
Barcelona seem to have turned a corner in their La Liga campaign and have come into their own over the past month. Lamine Yamal has been sensational for the Blaugrana this season and will be intent on proving his mettle this weekend.
Las Palmas were shockingly poor against Almeria and cannot afford another debacle in this fixture. Barcelona are in better form at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
