Barcelona hammered three goals past Brest this midweek in the UEFA Champions League and now continue their run at Montjuic with a La Liga game against Las Palmas on Saturday.
With the team’s next three games being tricky away fixtures against Mallorca, Real Betis and Borussia Dortmund, tomorrow will be Barcelona’s final home game until mid-December and the team will look to keep their good form going.
Their opponents on the day, Las Palmas, have not been going strong this season and currently languish in 17th place in La Liga. They are just two points out of the relegation zone and a defeat could well see them in the bottom three.
Barcelona will thus enter the game as favourites a day after their 125th anniversary celebrations and there will be no better gift to the institution than a win from the first-division men’s team.
Barça Universal brings you three talking points ahead of Barcelona vs Las Palmas.
The X-factor returns
Barcelona stopped the bleeding with a win over Brest midweek after dropping points in two consecutive games and did away with the notion that they cannot win without Lamine Yamal.
