Villarreal vs Las Palmas Prediction and Betting Tips | October 8th 2023
Villarreal and Las Palmas get Sunday’s La Liga fixtures underway when they go head-to-head at the Estadi de la Ceràmica.
Los Amarillos are currently on a run of six consecutive away defeats across all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Villarreal got their Europa League campaign back on track as they picked up a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Stade Rennais on Thursday.
Manager Pacheta will hope Thursday’s result can serve as a catalyst for a fine run of form as the Yellow Submarine return to action in La Liga, where they are currently on a three-match winless run.
With eight points from eight matches, Villarreal are currently 13th in the league standings, level on points with Sunday’s visitors.
Las Palmas, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last time out when they edged out Celta Vigo 1-0 at the Gran Canaria Stadium.
Garcia Pimienta’s men have now won two of their last three matches, with a 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid on September 27 being the exception.
While Las Palmas will look to keep the ball rolling this weekend, they have struggled for results away from home, where they are currently on a six-game losing streak.
