Real Madrid v Las Palmas

Real Madrid vs Las Palmas Preview

Real Madrid take on Las Palmas at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night with the hosts going in search of a sixth win in La Liga while visitors, Las Palmas, will be eager to build upon their first win of the season on Sunday although this looks to be quite a challenge for Las Palmas.

Real Madrid had produced an excellent start to this new Spanish top flight season as the hosts racked up five wins on the trot, giving them a 100% winning record which had helped lift Carlo Ancelloti's side into third spot in the La Liga table but a heavy 3-1 defeat away from home at local rivals, Atletico Madrid, on Sunday ended Real Madrid's impressive start.

The hosts had previously posted five wins on the trot by way of victories against Athletic Bilbao, Almeria, Celta Vigo, Getafe and Real Sociedad and although they lost last time out to Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid will be confident that they can quickly bounce back with a win here on Wednesday night.

Having suffered just the one defeat out of their previous 25 games at their Estadio Santiago Bernabéu and picking up 18 wins in the process, a solid home win for the hosts looks to be in order here.

Las Palmas put an end to their miserable start to this new La Liga season on Sunday when they recorded a welcome 1-0 home win against fellow newcomers, Granada, which helped lift the visitors up into a more respectable 15th place in the Spanish top flight standings and a point above the early relegation zone.

Las Palmas finished runners-up behind Granada in last season's La Liga 2 and thus sealed automatic promotion back up into the domestic big time but it has been five years since their last appearance in La Liga and Las Palmas will be keen to improve upon a pretty poor record of results in the domestic top flight.

Indeed, Las Palmas have now managed to win just once in their previous 22 matches in La Liga which includes being handed no fewer than 14 defeats along with failing to score in 13 of these 22 games as well which certainly does not bode well for an upcoming trip to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu to face a highly motivated Real Madrid outfit who are looking to bounce back from their recent defeat.

Real Madrid v Las Palmas Verdict

It has been five years since Real Madrid and Las Palmas last locked horns in the Spanish top flight but Real Madrid won both home and away fixtures by 3-0 margins on each occasion and another similar outcome looks likely in favour of the hosts on Wednesday night.
