Las Palmas vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips (29 August)

Las Palmas has still not won and the victory ratio is starting to become extremely worrying for the locals in the championship since if we take into account the last days of last year, they have not won in 16 matches in La Liga... 10 defeats, 6 draws. The season started with a draw in this same stadium against Sevilla FC 2-2 and continued in the defeat against Leganes last weekend 2-1.

It must be announced now, if nothing is found for Palmas between now and the end of the transfer window to arrange the squad, it could be that he competes in the fight for maintenance and nothing else, unless with a click.The click, Real Madrid had it last Sunday at the Bernabéu with a crushing victory against Valladolid on the scoreboard 3-0 but not as much on the field with huge failures in the last gesture and a rather disconcerting slowness in transmissions. Already, during the UEFA Super Cup victory against Atalanta Bergamo, the feeling of missing a Toni Kroos was very real, but it was even more so after the first two days of the championship. As a reminder, the Merengue, reigning champions, started with a parity score in Mallorca 1-1. 

For this part, midfielder Fabio Gonzalez, rookie Januzaj (on loan from Sevilla FC), and Pejino are all injured and will probably be missing. Uncertainty around the starting right back during the first two days, Alex Suarez (glitch). During the summer window, which is still open, Palmas lost important players like Munir El Haddadi (free, Leganes), Julian Araujo (FC Barcelona, ​​return from loan, immediately transferred to Bournemouth), the interesting Maximo Perrone (Man City, return from loan) Saul Coco (Torino), Sergi Cardona (Villarreal) and Alvaro Lemos (Oviedo). The supporters can, however, be happy with the arrival of the Scots McKenna (Nottingham) and McBurnie (Sheffield). Also signing Bikoue (2 goals with Valladolid last year), Ivan Gil (FC Andorra, free), Fuster (Albacete), Viti (Oviedo), Jaime Mata (Getafe), Alex Munoz ( Levante), and experienced goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen (ex-Valencia and Barcelona in the past). Within the White House, Jude Bellingham will miss the next three weeks of competition, like Eduardo Camavinga and David Alava who is progressing in rehabilitation. These are still three ultra-important players for Carlo Ancelotti who is scratching his head about his system. The 4-2-3-1 allows him to play his three stars up front (Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr and Mbappé) but not necessarily to put them in the best position. The most struggling is clearly the French international who is currently missing his debut in La Liga, whether in the game where he makes no difference or in front of the cage where he misses a lot.

Vinicius Jr gets lost in his dribbles and ultimately, the "cleanest" is Rodrygo, who also scored against Mallorca. Against Valladolid, the match was closed until the exit of the attacking trio and the return of Brahim Diaz, scorer, then passer on the goal of the other flagship recruit of the summer, Endrick who only needed 10 minutes in the championship to unlock his counter. This should be taken with a grain of salt but it also means that the “B” elements can make the difference when the holders are not capable of it. Ferland Mendy, suspended against Valladolid following his red against Mallorca, should return to the match sheet. However, his replacement Fran Garcia had a good game on Sunday and seeing him rewarded with a second start in a row would not be stolen. A quick look back at the transfer window with the departure of Joselu, Nacho, and the legend Kroos (retirement). Remember that Nico Paz (rotation) signed for Calcio Como (SA), Mario Martin joined Valladolid on loan while Latasa (loan on loan) signed permanently at Valladolid. It will be recalled that the young Joan Martinez, unknown to the battalion but clearly in Don Carlo's plans in the central hierarchy, will undergo an intervention (ruptured cruciate ligaments) and his season could already be over before he can even start it.
