Valencia vs Las Palmas Prediction & Betting Tips (21 October)

Will the supporters of the Ché club only have the right to dream of one season in the end? After obtaining a place in the top 10 last year 9th, the Blanquinegros are returning to their precarious situation of recent years during which they were maintaining their position. First relegated at the start of this 10th day, the six-time Spanish champion is clearly not in his place from a historical point of view but on the green rectangle, he does not necessarily deserve better having only won a small match, when Girona came to Mestalla 2-0. Since this success, Valencia has gone 3 days without a victory for a record of a defeat contracted on the lawn of Real Sociedad who had still not won at home 3-0 and two parity scores conceded against Osasuna at home 0-0 and at Leganes before the break 0-0. 9 days, 6 defeats, 3 draws and a last place in the standings, Las Palmas can't do it at all. This series of poor performances is not new. Indeed, the last victory of the residents of Gran Canaria dates back to February 10 now.

In the last three seasons, each time a team started like this, they experienced relegation Levante, Elche, Almeria. Before the break, Palmas did not even manage to snatch a draw against Celta Vigo after having played 11 against 9 for more than half an hour 0-1. Without saying more, this result sums up the cataclysmic state of form of this team which still held Real Madrid in check at the start of the season... 

Caught up in extra-sporting matters, Rafa Mir is for the moment excluded from the pro group. Injured, replacement goalkeeper Jaume Domenech, captain Gaya, starting central defender Diakhaby and Vazquez will be absent. The hopes of a possible revival are in the hands of Hugo Duro (13 goals last season), Javi Guerra, and Pepelu (7 goals, 1 assist last year) who have, for the moment, not the same influence as last year. It is the frequent absences at Palmas which lost its best offensive asset at the start of the season, Sandro Ramirez (ex-Barça, 3 goals), its starting goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen, Marmol and the midfielder landed from Real Madrid, Marvin.

Note the uncertainties around midfielders Kirian Rodriguez (6 pawns last season), and Alberto Moleiro who is not clumsy either at the start of the season (3 goals). Behind, McKenna is not sure if he will be there either.
