They have gone over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 5 matches and they are coming off of a 3-2 loss at home against Valencia in their last match. Their attack has not been bad in these matches as they have scored 6 goals in their last 4 matches, but their defense has not been good either as they have allowed 8 goals in their last 5 matches. When playing at home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches there. Their attack has been good in those matches as they have scored a goal in each of their last 4 matches there, scoring at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 4 home matches, but their defense has been awful there as they have also allowed at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 home matches and they have allowed at least 3 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches there as well. They are going up against a Rayo Vallecano side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 5 as well as 5 of their last 8 matches. Their defense has been awful in these matches as they have allowed 11 goals total in their last 5 matches, allowing at least 3 goals in 3 of those 5 matches. When playing away from home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 matches. Their attack has not been bad in these matches as they have scored 4 goals in their last 4 matches, but their defense has been awful as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 4 and at least 3 goals in each of their last 2 away matches. Rayo Vallecano has been giving up a lot of goals away from home and this is a Las Palmas attack that has been finding the net at home so they are going to score some goals here as they also need to push their attack in this match since they need the points as they are currently sitting in the relegation zone and are 3 points away from being out. Las Palmas has also been allowing a lot of goals themselves though and even though this Rayo Vallecano attack has not been scoring a lot recently, they will find the net on this defense as they also need to push for the points since they are currently sitting in 6th place and are in position to make European competition next year with just 4 matches left in the season. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
