Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone's charges suffered their first defeat of the season, losing away to Betis with a score of 0-1. The only goal of the match came from an own goal. Before this, Atletico had gone 11 consecutive La Liga matches without defeat (6 wins and 5 draws). Notably, Atletico has the best defense in the championship – only 7 goals conceded.
Defender Robin Le Normand will miss the match due to injury.
- No more than two goals were scored in 5 of Atletico's last 6 games in La Liga.
- A maximum of one goal was scored in the first 45 minutes in the last ten league matches of the Madrid team.
- The club has a 5-match unbeaten streak at home in La Liga (3 wins and 2 draws).
Las Palmas
The Canaries are approaching this match with two consecutive victories in the league. Diego Martinez's men defeated Valencia away (3:2) and Girona at home (1:0). However, before that, the club had not won in La Liga for 23 matches (8 draws and 15 losses). Nevertheless, Las Palmas has not yet left the relegation zone but is now only one point behind the safe 17th place.
- No more than three goals were scored in 7 out of the last 10 La Liga matches involving Las Palmas.
- Both teams scored in 9 out of the last 12 La Liga games for Las Palmas.
- The club has not won the first half in 13 away league matches (5 draws and 8 losses).
Atletico Madrid vs Las Palmas: match prediction
The capital club is determined to make amends for the disappointing defeat in the previous round. Atletico has dropped to fourth place and is now 10 points behind the leading Barcelona. I am confident that Diego Simeone's men will secure a convincing victory in the upcoming match against the underdog. Yes, Las Palmas won their last two matches, but they beat opponents who are currently in poor form. I would also add that only Valladolid and Celta have conceded more goals (19) than Las Palmas in the current championship.
In the last eight head-to-head La Liga encounters, Atletico claimed seven victories. Moreover, in six of these matches, the Madrid team won without conceding a goal. Additionally, in all four previous face-to-face meetings in Madrid, the hosts won without conceding. Considering how well Diego Simeone's side plays defensively, I assume they will again manage to win to nil.
My prediction is a "Clean Sheet Victory for Atletico Madrid" with odds of 1.7.
