Fri May 09 18:10:00 UTC 2025: ## UD Las Palmas Fights for Survival in La Liga’s Final Stretch

**Las Palmas, Gran Canaria (May 9, 2025)** – UD Las Palmas faces a crucial four-game stretch in La Liga, battling to avoid relegation. Currently sitting in the third relegation spot, only one point above Leganés and with Valladolid already relegated, their chances of survival hinge on upcoming matches.

The team needs to secure victories to surpass Deportivo Alavés, who currently occupy a safe position. Due to an unfavorable head-to-head record with Alavés, Las Palmas requires at least four more points than Alavés from their remaining twelve.

Their immediate focus is a home match against Rayo Vallecano this Friday. A win, coupled with unfavorable results for Alavés, could see Las Palmas end the round level on points with Alavés, and within striking distance of Girona and a struggling Sevilla. Conversely, a loss to Rayo Vallecano and wins for their rivals would severely hamper their survival chances.

The remaining fixtures present a challenging prospect: Rayo Vallecano (fighting for European qualification), Sevilla FC (potentially battling relegation themselves), Leganés, and finally, Espanyol. Las Palmas’ rivals also have difficult schedules. Sevilla faces Celta Vigo, Las Palmas, Real Madrid, and Villarreal. Leganés plays Espanyol, Villarreal, Las Palmas, and Valladolid. Alavés faces Athletic Bilbao, Valencia, Valladolid, and Osasuna. Girona, meanwhile, plays Villarreal, Valladolid, Real Sociedad and Atlético Madrid.

Despite the odds, Las Palmas believes they have a real chance. A victory against Rayo Vallecano this week would significantly boost their hopes, but the road to salvation remains a difficult one.
