LAP vs RM Match Preview
Las Palmas began Luis Carrion’s era with a notable 2-2 draw against Sevilla at home but then suffered a 2-1 loss to Leganes away, leaving them with just a point earned from their first two games of the 2024-25 season. The frustrating start puts Los Amarillos into a challenging situation with the holders visiting them for the midweek battle. The team has not won a game in the La Liga since a 2-0 win over Valencia back in February and has lost 10 games in that period. Las Palmas has also failed to beat Real Madrid even once in the last 10 meetings, only managing to snatch points twice. One of those came at home in 2016 when a late strike from Sergio Araujo avoided a defeat for the home side in a 2-2 draw. Winning the fixture will require a lot of effort from Las Palmas to save further disappointment but taking a point at home against the title holders will charge up the spirits for the rest of the season.
After opening weekend disappointment from the 1-1 draw away at Mallorca, Real Madrid found their groove at home to pick up their first win of the 2024-25 season. Jude Bellingham’s absence due to a leg injury did not matter as the reigning champions dominated Real Valladolid with Federico Valverde and Brahim Diaz finding the net before substitute Endrick became the youngest Real Madrid player to score on his debut at the age of 18. All the goals came in the second half but manager Carlo Ancelloti will be happy to see his side finding their rhythm again. Los Blancos will now make the second trip to face Las Palmas in the first midweek game of the season with three points in their mind to keep the pressure on Barcelona. The Catalan giants have secured full points from the opening three games of the season and sit at the top of the table in this early exchange. Consecutive victories will lift Real Madrid to the top three of the table although they will remain two points behind their title rivals.
