Las Palmas have had a mixed season so far with six wins, five draws, and 11 losses, sitting on 23 points, level with Leganes and Espanyol. After finishing 16th last season, they aim for a third consecutive campaign in La Liga, a feat they haven’t achieved since 2018. Their home form has been solid, earning 13 points from 11 matches, though they face a Villarreal team with the fifth-best away record, collecting 18 points on the road. Villarreal recently triumphed 5-1 over Valladolid, with Ayoze Perez back from injury, and are aiming for a top-four finish. Despite scoring 44 goals, their defense is a concern, conceding 33. They’re also without European distractions, which could give them an edge in the top-four race. Villarreal’s away form has been shaky, but with their attacking strength and Perez fit again which is important, maybe Villareal is closer to win, but for sure that value is on hosts. Las Palmas can threaten, especially against Villarreal's vulnerable defense.
Predicting heer Las Palmas 1-1 or 1-2 Villarreal. We’re backing the home side with a +1.25 handicap to keep it close.
