⚽ LaLiga - Round 8 Preview

📅 30 Sep 2024

⏰ 20:00 GMT +1

🏟 Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal)

Villarreal bounced back from a heavy 5-1 loss to Barcelona by securing a 2-1 comeback victory against Espanyol, marking their fourth win of the season (D2, L1). With 14 points from seven matches, this is their best start since the 2015/16 season. Fans are praising manager Marcelino as he looks to lead Villarreal back into European competition after missing out this season. With only two losses in the last 11 home clashes against Las Palmas (W6, D3), Villarreal will feel confident heading into this fixture.

Las Palmas, on the other hand, find themselves in a challenging position, sitting bottom of the table with just three points (D3, L4). Their last match, a 1-1 draw against Real Betis, ended a three-game losing streak. Coach Luis Carrión is under pressure, yet to register a win since taking charge this summer. Defensive frailties remain a significant concern for Las Palmas, who have failed to keep a clean sheet and conceded 13 goals in seven matches. They’ll need to summon the form that saw them win 2-1 at Estadio de la Cerámica nearly a year ago.
