Las Palmas - Villarreal predictions

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Las Palmas winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Villarreal, which is made quite clear with the 4.35 odds offered for a home win result.

Having a 1.80 selection on your slip can be a big boost to your potential winnings and with Villarreal largely expected to beat Las Palmas, you’d be wise to use it.

Las Palmas’s latest La Liga outing at Girona did not go their way, though it can’t be used to accurately represent their form. They were fighting an uphill battle as visitors against the much stronger side, who took an early lead and secured a 2:1 victory.

Villarreal’s previous outing was a decent performance on their end. They curtly earned three points against Real Valladolid by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.22 made them huge favourites so the result didn’t come as much of a surprise.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Villarreal and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 La Liga matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

With 23 points from 23 rounds played in the La Liga, the hosts are dangerously close to the dropping zone. Only three places separate them from the relegation strugglers and the Saturday clash against Villarreal will be an important test for their top-tier credentials.

After 23 matches in the La Liga season, Villarreal seem to be on their way to Europa League. There is still time to make an additional push, however, and join the Champions League chase. Beating Las Palmas is the first step, the one Villarreal are priced at 1.80 to succeed at.

The most recent record of this matchup we have is a decisive Villarreal victory from the previous La Liga season. Based partly on the considerable lead they secured before the end of that bout, this game’s away team are expected to win again.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Campaña, Sandro Ramírez, Adnan Januzaj have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.70 at Pncl.
