UD Las Palmas

DDLWWL ⚖

UD Las Palmas will be wanting a better result here after a 1-0 La Liga losing effort in their last game against Athletic Bilbao.

In that match, UD Las Palmas managed 51% possession and 10 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Athletic Bilbao got 13 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Iñaki Williams (5') scored for Athletic Bilbao.

It has been all too rare in recent times that UD Las Palmas haven’t conceded. In fact, UD Las Palmas have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 8 goals during that time.

Heading into this contest, UD Las Palmas haven't been beaten in the league by Valencia in their last 2 matches.

Valencia

DWWWDD 📈

Previously, Valencia drew 1-1 in the La Liga tie with Espanyol.

In that match, Valencia managed 67% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 7 on target. The scorer for Valencia was Javi Guerra (57'). Espanyol had 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Javi Puado (40') scored for Espanyol.

A succession of very capable performances by the Valencia defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their previous 6 clashes combined. Over that same time, their forwards have scored 7. We will just have to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.

Analysis of their past results shows that Valencia:

• have not emerged victorious against UD Las Palmas when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. Not the best of away records.
• have not been beaten in their last 5 league matches away from home.

📋 Team News: UD Las Palmas

Kirian Rodríguez (Lymphatic cancer) and Andy Pelmard (unknown injury) will not be taking part for UD Las Palmas gaffer Diego Martínez.

It’s our opinion that UD Las Palmas look set to use a 4-3-3 system this time featuring Dinko Horkas, Viti, Alex Suarez, Juanma Herzog, Mika Marmol, Javier Munoz, Dario Essugo, Stefan Bajcetic, Sandro Ramirez, Oliver McBurnie and Alberto Moleiro.

ℹ️ Team News: Valencia

From a largely full-strength group of players, there is only the one fitness issue for the Valencia manager Carlos Corberán to be concerned about. Thierry Correia (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

We are inclined to think that Los Che appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Giorgi Mamardashvili, Dimitri Foulquier, Cristhian Mosquera, Mouctar Diakhaby, Jose Gaya, Enzo Barrenechea, Javier Guerra, Luis Rioja, Andre Almeida, Diego Lopez and Rafa Mir.

💡 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Valencia and UD Las Palmas should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.

It could well end in a draw. We’re therefore expecting a close game with a 1-1 score when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
