Villarreal will be looking to end a three-game winless run in La Liga when they return to domestic action on Sunday. Las Palmas will be the visitors this weekend, as they chase a second straight win in the Spanish top flight.
La Liga Preview
It hasn’t been the start to the season that Villarreal would have been hoping for this term, as they currently sit in the bottom half of the standings after eight rounds of matches. They have won just twice so far this term, and they have been beaten in four occasions. Their recent issues would be a concern, as they have gone three in La Liga without a victory.
Villarreal have won just two games this term which is the fewest that they have managed at this stage of the campaign since 2018-19. In that season, the hosts finished 14th in the league standings. They will need to be much better defensively this weekend, as they have already allowed 13 goals in the competition this season.
Las Palmas will likely come into this fixture with more confidence than their rivals, as they have won two of their last three matches, which includes a victory in their most recent outing last weekend. A victory this weekend in La Liga could see them go into the international break in the top half of the standings.
However, it would be a huge concern that Las Palmas have scored just four goals across their eight matches in the competition so far this term. The visitors also have a really poor record on the road in the competition, as they have lost each of their last five without scoring.
Villarreal vs Las Palmas Head to Head
Villarreal have won each of their last two matches against Las Palmas in the Spanish top flight without conceding. They could equal their longest winning sequence against their rivals this weekend. Villarreal have dominated their home matches against Las Palmas after winning four of their last five.
Villarreal vs Las Palmas Prediction
It hasn’t been the perfect start to the new season for Villarreal, but their overall record in this fixture is very challenging to overlook. Therefore, we expect them to continue their home dominance against Las Palmas by landing a fifth win in six matches against their rivals at El Madrigal.
