Las Palmas vs Real Madrid: Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

This week, La Liga, Real Madrid, and Las Palmas will meet. Carlo Ancelotti's squad and Luis Carrión's side will face off at Estadio Gran Canaria on Thursday at 8:30 PM UK time.

Previous Matches and head-to-head

The Spanish club UD Las Palmas is not very big. Their only concern is competing in La Liga, and they are from the Canary Islands. Although they have never won the Spanish title, Los Amarillos did finish in second place in La Liga in 1968–69 and advanced to the Copa del Rey final in 1977–78.

Last year, Luis Carrión's squad placed sixteenth in La Liga. La Unión Deportiva, as one would assume, fought relegation all season long and was fortunate to escape the Segunda Division. Even if they were given 17th place right now, Los Amarillos aren't expected to do much better this time.

This week, UD Las Palmas will face Real Madrid in La Liga after suffering a 2-1 loss on the road at Leganes. This followed a disappointing 2-2 league tie in front of Sevilla's home supporters. It came after a preseason friendly match ended in a scoreless draw on the road at Anfield against Premier League team Liverpool. Closed doors were used for the game.

Just like they did last season, Real Madrid—possibly the most fantastic club in the world—will be expected to win every tournament they play this year. Los Blancos will be eager to defend the La Liga and UEFA Champions League titles that Carlo Ancelotti's squad earned last season.

Madrid was anticipated to begin their La Liga season with a victory over Real Mallorca after their victory in the UEFA Super Cup this month against Atalanta. Although Los Blancos took the lead away from home, they could only secure a draw in the encounter.

With a committed mindset, Los Blancos sought to claim their second La Liga victory of the year. Not only that, but they beat Real Valladolid 3-0 at home last weekend, securing all three points.

Real Madrid to win 3-0 @ 8.75 on Sky247.ng

Compared to Real Madrid, Las Palmas is a small club with an even smaller squad. It isn't easy to see any outcome to this La Liga encounter other than a resounding victory for Carlo Ancelotti's Los Blancos, who have what is perhaps the league's best squad this season.
