For those interested in following this encounter live, various streaming platforms are expected to provide coverage of the match. Fans can anticipate an exhilarating contest that not only showcases individual talents but also highlights the strategic nuances inherent in modern football.

Athletic Club, virtually assured of Champions League qualification and seeking a European trophy to complement their Copa del Rey win (ending a 40-year drought), host a confident Las Palmas side who have recently achieved significant victories. A bet on both teams scoring at San Mames looks promising.Las Palmas, despite having little to play for in terms of league position, are playing with a freedom that makes them dangerous. Their recent dismantling of Barcelona at home is a stark reminder of their capabilities. While Athletic's defensive record at San Mames is generally solid, the pressure of expectation, coupled with the potential for some squad rotation ahead of their looming Europa League semi-final, could create vulnerabilities. Las Palmas’ dynamic attacking duo will certainly fancy their chances against a potentially distracted Athletic backline. Given the circumstances, backing both teams to find the net seems like a shrewd move, even in the cauldron that is San Mames.
