UD Las Palmas is facing a critical period in their away matches, having secured only five out of a possible twenty-one points in the second half of the league season, causing concern within the club.

The team, managed by Luis García Fernández, has fallen into a negative dynamic away from the Island, suffering three consecutive defeats. The most recent was at La Rosaleda against Málaga CF (2-0), adding to previous setbacks against Albacete (2-1) at Belmonte and SD Eibar (3-1) at Ipurua. This adverse streak began with a resounding 4-1 loss to Racing de Santander at El Sardinero at the start of the second half of the season.
The situation has caused the team to drop from the top of the league table to seventh place, severely complicating their promotion ambitions. The so-called "charter syndrome" and apathy appear to have affected the players' performance in the seven away matches played in this phase of the competition.
Despite this outlook, UD Las Palmas achieved a convincing 0-3 victory against Cultural Leonesa at Reino de León on March 1st, with goals from Mika Mármol, Fuster, and Sandro Ramírez, which marked their last away success. However, draws against Real Sociedad B (1-1) at Zubieta and CD Mirandés (1-1) at Municipal de Anduva, the latter with a dramatic goal from Jesé Rodríguez, have not been enough to reverse the trend.
The "forced landings" have been repeated, notably the defeat against Albacete in a surreal finish with goals in the 95th and 102nd minutes, and the clear dominance by SD Eibar in an infamous first half at Ipurua. The lack of reaction and the absence of youth academy debuts, along with tactical changes that have not benefited the team, are factors cited as part of this results crisis.
