Las Palmas vs. Sevilla: Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

This week in La Liga, we have UD Las Palmas vs. Sevilla. The encounter between the squads managed by Luis Carrión and García Pimienta is set to take place at Estadio Gran Canaria on Friday at 8:30 pm UK time.

Previous Matches and Head to head

The Spanish club UD Las Palmas is not very big. They are a Canary Island club that is content to be competing in La Liga. While Los Amarillos have never won the Spanish championship, they did finish in second place in La Liga in 1968–69 and advanced to the Copa del Rey final in 1977–78.

The team managed by Luis Carrión placed sixteenth in La Liga previous season. 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.

UD Las Palmas will face Sevilla in this week's La Liga encounter at Estadio Gran Canaria after a scoreless preseason friendly away at Anfield against Premier League team Liverpool. It took place in private. Following a 3-0 loss to Inter Milan in a friendly, the team won their next friendly against Union Sur Yaiza 4-0.

Sevilla is among the most popular and well followed Spanish clubs. The Nervionenses have a record seven UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League victories and a history of frequent participation in important European tournaments like the UEFA Champions League.

However, Sevilla had a rough season last year. Palanganas, who were in serious danger of finishing the season in last place and being demoted to the Segunda Division, had management changes. Under head coach García Pimienta, the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán faithful will anticipate that Sevilla, who ended up in fourteenth place, will contend for a spot in the top four of La Liga this season.

This week, Sevilla will play UD Las Palmas away from home at Estadio Gran Canaria in La Liga. Prior to that, they lost a preseason friendly 4-1 at Anfield against Liverpool, of the Premier League. It followed a 1-0 win against Al Ittihad in a friendly, which came after a 2-1 triumph over Fulham in yet another friendly.
