**Las Palmas, Canary Islands** – UD Las Palmas will face a crucial match against Real Sociedad today at the Estadio de Gran Canaria in a LaLiga EA Sports encounter. Both teams enter the game with contrasting needs and pressing circumstances.

Las Palmas, currently in the relegation zone with 26 points (four points from safety), are winless in 2025, enduring an 11-game winless streak. Their last victory came before the turn of the year. Historically, they have a strong home record against Real Sociedad, winning 17 of their 32 previous home matches. However, they are currently on a seven-game losing streak against their opponents, failing to score in the last four encounters.

Real Sociedad, meanwhile, sits 10th with 38 points, nine points behind Villarreal in the European qualification spots. While their chances are slim, a strong finish is still possible with eight games remaining. Their recent form is mixed: they are undefeated in their last 11 LaLiga matches when scoring first, but they are on a six-game winless streak away from home, their longest such run since April 2019.

Both teams revealed their starting lineups, with Las Palmas manager Diego Martínez missing injured goalkeeper Cillessen and Benito, opting for Dinko Horkas and Essugo respectively. Real Sociedad’s Imanol Alguacil rested key players Kubo and Sucic.

This match represents a battle of contrasting fortunes. For Las Palmas, it’s a vital step towards avoiding relegation, while for Real Sociedad it’s a chance to push for a European spot. The game promises to be a high-stakes encounter with significant implications for both sides.
