Las Palmas vs Sevilla Preview
Las Palmas
Las Palmas are looking to turn a new page with the appointment of Luis Carrión as head coach, following García Pimienta’s departure. The fans are hopeful that Luis Carrion can end the team’s 14-match winless streak in La Liga.
Last season, Las Palmas finished 16th in La Liga with a meagre 40 points. Los Amarillos were lacklustre on the offensive side, and their main problem was their lack of offensive firepower, averaging less than a goal per game.
Judging by the results of their friendly matches, there are signs of progress under Carrión. His team beat Al-Shabab 2-1 and held on to a draw against Liverpool (0-0).
Attacking midfielder Kirian Rodriguez is the captain and remains a key figure for Las Palmas. Last season, he was the club’s top scorer with six goals, and he’s expected to lead the charge once again this campaign.
Sevilla
Sevilla performed poorly last season. After winning the Europa League, they were expected to carry that momentum into their La Liga performances. However, they finished the Champions League group stage in last place and were at times flirting with relegation before eventually finishing 14th in the standings.
This summer, former Las Palmas coach Francisco Pimienta took over the managerial role at Sevilla, bringing with him hopes of a turnaround.
Sevilla had a mixed pre-season. They chose strong clubs as their opponents and won three out of six matches. Rojiblancos managed to defeat Al-Ittihad (1-0), Granada (2-0) and Fulham (2-1). However, the heavy defeat in the away match against Liverpool (1-4) dampened the optimism around the team’s performance.

- Pick: Sevilla to Win
- Odds: 2.43 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Las Palmas 1-2 Sevilla
Sevilla will present themselves to the fans as a rejuvenated side. Pimienta prefers a fast-paced attacking game with heavy use of the flanks. The arrival of new players, such as Kelechi Iheanacho, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and Lucien Agoumé, will further bolster the squad and align with Pimienta’s vision.
Pimienta has already started reshaping the squad by offloading several players. Youssef En-Nesyri’s transfer to Fenerbahce is a noteworthy departure, but Sevilla appears well-equipped to replace him with younger and dynamic forwards.
On the other hand, Las Palmas are still struggling with inconsistency, and it seems unlikely that they will be able to end their unsuccessful streak. Considering Rojiblancos’s overall advantage in the last H2H meetings, our Las Palmas vs Sevilla prediction suggests Sevilla’s victory.
Las Palmas vs Sevilla Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.97 (22Bet)
Las Palmas and Sevilla have noticeably improved their ability to create and realize chances. The teams have strengthened their squad with experienced attacking players, so they are likely to focus on an offensive approach in their gameplay.
However, recent matches, including the one against Liverpool, showcased lingering defensive problems in both squads. Las Palmas might not have conceded a goal but showed signs of defensive frailty, while Sevilla is adapting to the departure of key defenders like Sergio Ramos and Jesus Navas.
Given these factors, we recommend placing a bet on over 2.5 goals. As it is the first round of La Liga, it seems unlikely the teams will be burdened by pressure and more inclined to take risks.
