Las Palmas and Getafe Face Off in Crucial LaLiga Match

LAS PALMAS, Spain – UD Las Palmas and Getafe CF will clash on Sunday, January 12, 2025, at 1:00 PM local time in the Estadio de Gran Canaria. The match, part of the 19th round of LaLiga EA Sports 2024-2025, will be officiated by referee Alberola Rojas, with García Verdura overseeing VAR. Both teams are fighting to secure their positions in the league, with Las Palmas aiming to escape the relegation zone and Getafe seeking to avoid further setbacks.

Las Palmas enters the match after a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Elche in the Copa del Rey. However, the team has shown resilience in LaLiga, recently defeating R.C.D. Espanyol at home with a stunning free-kick goal. Their star forward is in exceptional form, currently ranking second in the Zarra Trophy race, trailing only Ayoze Pérez. Despite the absence of key players Campaña and Viti due to injuries, Las Palmas remains optimistic about securing three crucial points.

Getafe, on the other hand, is teetering on the edge of the relegation zone, having lost their last two league matches against Mallorca and Atlético de Madrid. The team, managed by Bordalás, is determined to turn their fortunes around after a Copa del Rey victory over Granada. However, they will be without Berrocal, Nyom, and Diego Rico due to injuries. Jaime Mata, a former Las Palmas player, will face his old teammates in what promises to be an emotional encounter.

The confirmed lineups for the match are as follows: UD Las Palmas will field Cillessen; Mika Mármol, Álex Suárez, McKenna, Álex Muñoz; Essugo, Javi Muñoz, Kirian; Fábio, Moleiro, and Sandro. Getafe CF will start with David Soria; Nyom, Djené, Alderete, Iglesias; Luis Milla, Arambarri, Uche; Coba, Bertug, and another forward. The match will be broadcast live on DAZN.

Both teams are under immense pressure to perform, with Las Palmas looking to solidify their mid-table position and Getafe desperate to climb out of the relegation zone. The outcome of this match could have significant implications for the remainder of the season.
