Barcelona’s sensational start to life under Hansi Flick already sees them sitting four points clear of Real Madrid at the La Liga summit.
However, the Catalonian club have been in patchy form in recent weeks after failing to win in their last two league outings. But, a return to form did arrive in midweek when beating Brest 3-0 in the Champions League.
Las Palmas will have their sights set on La Liga survival this term, and they come into the round sitting two points clear of the drop zone. The visitors have won three of their last five, but they will likely be huge outsiders in Barcelona.
Odds
Barcelona will be hard to overlook in the betting this weekend at -600. Las Palmas will be among the biggest-priced selections in Europe at +1300.
