Prediction published on Jan 8, 2026 6:04 PM by Dario in Spain - La Liga 2 | Modified on Jan 8, 2026 6:04 PM
The twenty-first round of LaLiga Hypermotion brings one of the most anticipated fixtures of the weekend as Las Palmas host Deportivo La Coruña. Both sides are fighting for promotion and arrive at this clash with different dynamics: the home team in excellent form and the visitors looking to recover after a difficult run. With only four points separating them in the standings, this encounter could have a major impact on the race for the top two positions.
Las Palmas approach this match full of confidence after their 1-2 away victory against Real Zaragoza on January 4, 2026. That result extended their unbeaten streak to four league games, including two wins and two draws. The Canary side currently sit second in the La Liga 2 table with 37 points, just one behind the leaders, and continue to demonstrate consistency both at home and away.
Throughout the season, Las Palmas have built their success on a solid defensive structure. They have recorded 10 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats, averaging 1.3 goals scored and only 0.6 conceded per match. Their ability to control games early is also notable: they have led at half time in 6 of their last 10 home matches. However, their games tend to be tight, with Under 0.5 goals in three of their last twelve league fixtures. This suggests a team that prioritises balance and efficiency over high-scoring affairs.
With the home crowd behind them, Las Palmas will aim to maintain their momentum and strengthen their position in the automatic promotion zone. Their defensive reliability and ability to strike at key moments make them a tough opponent for any visiting side.
Deportivo La Coruña travel to Gran Canaria after a 2-2 draw against Cádiz, a result that extended their winless streak in the league to four matches. Despite their struggles, the Galician side remain in fifth place with 33 points, still within reach of the top two. Their attacking potential remains evident, but defensive lapses have cost them valuable points in recent weeks.
In the current campaign, Deportivo have registered 9 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats, averaging 1.7 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match. Their matches tend to open up after the break: there have been Over 0.5 goals in the second half in each of their last 20 league games, including all of their last 15 away fixtures. This pattern highlights their tendency to grow into matches and find scoring opportunities later on.
Although Deportivo’s recent form has been inconsistent, their attacking numbers suggest they can still pose a threat, particularly if they manage to exploit spaces in the second half. However, their defensive fragility away from home remains a concern against a disciplined Las Palmas side.
This fixture promises to be a balanced and tactical battle between two promotion contenders. Las Palmas will rely on their defensive solidity and home advantage, while Deportivo La Coruña will look to rediscover their winning touch through their offensive play. Historically, the head-to-head record slightly favours Las Palmas, with two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five meetings, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 0.8 conceded.
Given the current form of both teams, a cautious start is expected, with the game likely to open up in the second half. Las Palmas’ ability to control the tempo could limit Deportivo’s attacking rhythm, but the visitors’ resilience might still earn them a share of the points. The match could therefore be decided by fine margins, with both sides aware of the importance of avoiding defeat in the promotion race.
