Las Palmas vs Valladolid prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-12-06 13:00.
[p]Saturdayâs La Liga action opens at the home of Las Palmas, after the hosts provided the shock of the season so far when they defeated Barcelona away from home last weekend on their 125th anniversary celebration. That result continued a trend of alternating between wins and defeats across their last five games, something theyâll hope to end against Real Valladolid, a side who Las Palmas havenât lost to across the previous six league H2Hs (W2, D4).[/p]
[p]Still sitting five points above where they were at this stage of their last relegation season in 2017/18, the alarm bells arenât ringing just yet for Las Palmas. Alas, playing at home has provided little reprieve for Diego MartĂnezâs side, who have won just once here in league action this term (W1, D3, L3) whilst only managing draws from the other two occasions in which they led here in La Liga. [/p]
[p]In contrast to their hosts, rock-bottom Valladolid travel here knowing that theyâll remain in the bottom-three no matter what after a rotten run of five straight winless league outings (D1, L4). With just nine points after 15 games, the Valladolid faithful may be forgiven for expecting an immediate demotion considering they have accrued at least three points fewer than at the same stage of their last three relegation campaigns.[/p]
[p]Yet to draw an away league game (W1, L6), Valladolidâs only success was a valiant win from behind against AlavĂ©s. Failing to score in their two league trips since then, caretaker boss Ălvaro Rubio has been tasked with stopping the rot in the short term after the club decided to part ways with promotion-winning manager Paulo Pezzolano during the week. Thatâs no small task for Rubio, as one must look back to 1980/81 to find Valladolidâs last win here  [/p]
[p]Players to watch: FĂĄbio Silva secured his longest La Liga scoring streak last weekend which now stands at three games after his 67â strike claimed victory for the club. For Valladolid, their top league scorer RaĂșl Moro (G3) is the only player to find the net across their last four league games, three of which were defeats âto nilâ. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: The home side on the day in this fixture has lost just four of the 46 all-time H2Hs (W30, D12, L4). [/p]
