On Monday night in La Liga, Valencia will host Las Palmas in a crucial match for both teams, desperate for improvement in their fortunes.
Valencia sits second-bottom in the league standings with only six points from nine games. After a top-half finish last season, this campaign has been disappointing, marked by a winless run of three matches following a goalless draw against Leganes. They have not scored during this streak but remain unbeaten in their last three home games, earning five of their six points from those matches (1 win, 2 draws).
Las Palmas, at the bottom of the table, is still seeking their first league victory of the season, with three draws and six losses. Their last outing ended in a 1-0 home defeat to Celta Vigo, increasing their goals conceded to 17 without a clean sheet this season. On the road, they have lost all four matches, conceding two or more goals in each.
Prediction: Given Valencia’s slight home advantage and Las Palmas’s ongoing struggles, we expect Valencia to secure a much-needed victory in this match.
