Las Palmas vs Real Madrid prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-08-28 19:30.
[p]Following a come-from-behind 2-2 draw on the opening matchday, Las Palmas fell to a 2-1 defeat at Leganes over the weekend, only getting their consolation goal late into injury time. That result extended their agonising wait for a league win to 16 matches (D6, L10), prompting concerns of another season battling against relegation, with a visit from defending champions Real Madrid – against whom they have won only 10% of the H2Hs in history (W7, D15, L48) – unlikely to be met with much confidence from home fans.[/p]
[p]All seven of those wins have come at home at least, but the hosts’ recent form at Estadio de Gran Canaria has been poor to say the least. Las Palmas haven’t scored in four of their last seven home league games (D3, L4), but with the last three of those seeing them come from behind to grab a point, they could still put up some sort of fight here as big underdogs.[/p]
[p]Madrid picked up their first win of this league campaign on Sunday against Real Valladolid (3-0), breaking a run of three consecutive league draws. The final scoreline masked the palpable tension at the Santiago Bernabéu, with the score only being 1-0 as late as the 88th minute, though manager Carlo Ancelotti was happy for “those who came off the bench” to grab the two late strikes, as new signing Endrick became the youngest foreign player to score for the club, at 18 years and 35 days.[/p]
[p]The unbeaten league streak now stands at 34 for Los Blancos (W25, D9), giving them an air of near-invincibility in the division. The visitors should be confident of extending that record with a positive result here, having won the last four H2Hs, three without even conceding.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Jasper Cillessen made three saves each in his two league games this season, but the Las Palmas goalkeeper has conceded seven goals in his two personal H2Hs, each time losing by a three-goal margin. Looking to help his side to extend that streak could be Federico Valverde, who scored the match opener just after half-time in two of his last three games to give Madrid a lead that eventually translated into a win ‘to nil.’[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Las Palmas have conceded first in their last eight home league games.[/p]
