Latest Las Palmas vs Rayo Vallecano team information
Las Palmas are still without Kirian Rodriguez, who suffered a relapse of cancer earlier this year, but the club are hopeful that both Scott McKenna and Fabio Silva will be fit to play in this crucial match.
Fabio Silva could replace Javi Munoz in attack, while Sandro Ramirez and Oli McBurnie are almost certain to feature up front.
McKenna is likely to replace Alex Suarez at centre-back. Coach Diego Martinez is expected to have a fairly full squad for Friday night's crucial clash.
For Rayo, key defender Andrei Ratiu and goalkeeper Augusto Batalla will return from suspension. However, midfielder Pathe Ciss will be suspended for this match after his red card against Getafe.
Oscar Valentin is expected to replace Ciss in midfield. Randy Nteka remains an injury doubt, while Jonathan Montiel and Abdul Mumin are certain to miss out as they are yet to recover their fitness.
Sergi Guardiola is an option up front, but Adri Embarba is likely to continue to start at centre-forward, with Jorge de Frutos operating out wide.

Latest football commentary on Las Palmas vs Rayo Vallecano
Las Palmas have won 8, drawn 8 and lost 18 times after 34 rounds in La Liga this season, with a total of 32 points, currently ranked 18th in the rankings, 3 points behind 17th-ranked Alaves.
Diego Martinez's side head into this game following a 3-2 defeat to Valencia – a devastating result at the tail end of the season, with games remaining increasingly limited.
Las Palmas have a quality attack with 40 goals in 34 games – a pretty high number considering their position in the rankings. However, the defense is a serious problem as they have conceded 56 goals – the second worst record in the league.
Despite this, the islanders have won both of their last two La Liga meetings with Rayo, including a 3-1 win in the first leg this season. However, they lost 0-1 at home to the capital side in their most recent meeting there.
Las Palmas have won just four of their 17 home games this season, while Rayo travel to the Canary Islands with 20 points from 17 away games in La Liga 2024-25.
Rayo Vallecano just had a minimal 1-0 victory over Getafe – a very important result at this stage. Florian Lejeune was the one who scored the only goal in the 7th minute, helping the Madrid team win all 3 valuable points.
Coach Inigo Perez's team is currently ranked 8th in La Liga with a record of 11 wins, 11 draws, 12 losses after 34 matches - a total of 44 points, equal to the two teams right behind, Osasuna (9) and Mallorca (10).
Rayo are currently in a position to qualify for the UEFA Conference League play-offs, but are just two points behind seventh-placed Celta Vigo – a position that could see them qualify directly for the Europa League group stage next season.
Rayo finished 17th in La Liga last season, so this is a huge step forward and they are aiming to qualify for Europe for the first time since their UEFA Cup appearance in 2000-01.
Rayo have only scored 36 goals in La Liga this season – fewer than Las Palmas – but their defence has been solid with just 42 goals conceded, the same as Real Betis – who are competing for a Champions League spot.
