Las Palmas vs Real Madrid Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 29th August 2024

The new LaLiga season continues on Thursday with Real Madrid swinging over to Estadio de Gran Canaria. The reigning champions will lock horns with Las Palmas, hoping to get their title defence off on the right note.

Looking at the LaLiga standings, the current difference between the sides is three points and nine places.

Las Palmas will be feeling the pressure of securing a first win of the season in the LaLiga after collecting a modest one point in the first couple of rounds.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Las Palmas and Real Madrid are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Estadio de Gran Canaria as the teams look to get one over each other.

Las Palmas scored seven times in the last ten outings for an average of 0.7 goals a game. They conceded 18 and managed one clean sheets.

Real Madrid scored a decent 25 goals in ten outings, or an average of 2.5 goals per game. They allowed a total of seven goals against, an average of 0.7 goals per match, while achieving seven clean sheets.

Real Madrid won 2-1 and 2-0 in the two most recent meetings with Las Palmas, and go into their upcoming match with a psychological advantage.

Las Palmas vs Real Madrid Prediction

Las Palmas Form

Two draws were the best Las Palmas could manage in the previous three matches. They drew 1-1 with Deportivo Alaves, before finishing even in a 2-2 draw against Sevilla. Their most recent match brought a 2-1 defeat against Leganes. Las Palmas are without a win in their last six LaLiga matches on home soil, which produced a record of three draws and three defeats, in which they conceded ten and scored five goals.

A runners-up spot is the absolute minimum Real Madrid should achieve for a season in which a tilt at league glory is their top priority.

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid look in good shape before their upcoming match as they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat Atalanta by 2-0, before drawing 1-1 with Mallorca. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Real Valladolid by a 3-0 scoreline. Real Madrid performed a very admirable four wins in six LaLiga away matches, as well as two draws but no defeats. They scored 15 times, while also conceding seven goals.

Defending champion Real Madrid are understandably favourites to claim the title again, and they will be motivated to get a good start of the season.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when Las Palmas renew Real Madrid their acquaintance.
