Villarreal vs Las Palmas prediction 08.10.2023

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Sunday, 8th October 2023
• Kickoff: 13:00 UTC +1 / 14:00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal)

In recent seasons, Villarreal has consistently occupied the 5th to 7th position in La Liga. Last year, they secured the Europa League by finishing in 5th place. However, the current season has started off on a negative note for the team, as they find themselves in 13th place with a mere eight points, dangerously close to the relegation zone, which is just three points away.

Las Palmas, following a five-season stint in La Liga 2, successfully made their way back to the Spanish top division this season. The beginning of the 2023/24 season proved to be quite challenging for Los Amarillos. However, their recent triumphs over Granada and Celta Vigo in two out of the last three games have significantly improved their standing. At present, they are tied with Villarreal, both teams boasting eight points.

Villarreal vs Las Palmas pick: Under 2.5 goals

Villarreal’s performance has been lackluster lately. Despite earning some points in previous matches, their offensive performance has been below par, managing to score only three goals in the last five games across all competitions. The team has fallen short of the 2.5 goal mark in four out of the last five matches, primarily due to their weak offensive display.

Las Palmas, having only scored four goals in eight matches, currently hold the title for the league’s weakest offensive team. Additionally, their four away games have seen them fail to score a single goal. However, their defensive prowess has been remarkable, having only conceded seven goals. Only Real Madrid has allowed fewer goals (six) than the yellow team.

Based on the hosts’ lackluster offensive performances in recent games and Las Palmas’ struggles to score away from home, we believe that betting on under 2.5 goals is the most favorable choice for this match.
