The visitors have lost all four of their league trips this season
Valencia have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four matches
Valencia can claim vital victory
These two sides enter the weekend in La Liga’s relegation zone, with just three points splitting them. Valencia’s slow start has left them 18th in the table, while Las Palmas are at risk of being cut adrift at the bottom.
Garcia Pimienta’s departure for Sevilla in the summer left Las Palmas in trouble and they’ve lost six of their first nine games, winning none. That start includes four defeats from four on their travels, while the Islanders have been beaten in five of their last six starts.
Valencia have made a slow start of their own but the fact they’ve kept three clean sheets in four is encouraging. Their slow start can be partially explained by the fact they’ve met five of the current top six and just two sides in the bottom eight.
Valencia should take full advantage of a clash with the worst side in La Liga and they’re a good price to repeat their 1-0 victory from this fixture last term.
