Las Palmas - Valencia predictions

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Las Palmas will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Valencia.

The visiting team knows that beating Las Palmas on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

The hosts can count themselves fortunate to have avoided a bigger defeat in their last La Liga outing. They were seen as the 9.49 underdogs to claim what would have been a rather shocking away win and a narrow Athletic Bilbao beating they took will not leave too deep a dent in their confidence.

Valencia’s previous match against Espanyol was frustrating to watch. They spent most of the match trying to catch up to a relatively weaker opponent, only managing to do so in the second half and securing a middling 1:1 draw at a home game.

The previous two La Liga matches Las Palmas participated in ended with minimal goals on the board for either team – 1 or none, to be exact. This displays a form of consistency which can be valuable for betting markets like Under 5 Goals.

With 7 consecutive appearances with at least one goal to their name, the visiting team can feel confident. Either way, their matches are more likely to confirm the BTTS betting market.

The standings rarely change substantially this late in the season, so the hosts seem to be on the way to relegation. They’ve placed 18th on the table so far, and this upcoming match is certainly not easy.

Las Palmas clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Valencia, but it was a rather narrow victory.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.83.
