Valencia CF
Valencia was once among Spain’s elite, but Peter Lim’s tenure has been marked by everything but football success. As the wealthy Singaporean owner continued to sell off Valencia’s top players, the club entered one of the worst periods in its history.
It has been disheartening to witness Valencia battling relegation in recent years. However, this decline is unsurprising, given the club’s constant mismanagement in both financial and sporting areas.
Valencia is currently 19th in La Liga, with just six points from nine matches, only ahead of their opponent Las Palmas, who have accumulated a meager three points.

Valencia was recently shaken by an incident involving their fans. Two Spanish tourists were visiting Singapore. Being passionate Valencia supporters, they decided to stage a peaceful protest against Peter Lim, unfurling a banner that read “Lim, Go Home.”
Unbeknownst to the couple, this act was risky in a country with strict laws. In Singapore, a permit is required for any public protest, regardless of the cause. The local police confiscated the couple’s passports under the Public Order Act (POA). They were eventually sent back home after receiving a stern warning.

On the sporting front, Valencia has now gone an entire month without a win. Their last victory was on September 21st ( 2-0 against Girona), which remains the team’s only win of the season.
Las Palmas
After being promoted to La Liga, Las Palmas finished 16th under the management of García Pimienta in the 2023/24 season. Despite inconsistent results that didn’t always mirror their performances, Las Palmas played an exciting brand of football, with young talents like Alberto Moleiro assuming key roles.
The following season brought significant changes, as head coach García Pimienta left for Sevilla, along with players like Munir and Sergi Cardona. Julián Araujo also departed after his loan spell ended, further weakening the team’s defence.

The club secured several free transfers, bringing in José Campaña, Jasper Cillessen, and Scott McKenna while signing Marvin Park for €2 million. However, most of the signings haven’t made the impact they were expected to have.
Two months into the current campaign, Las Palmas remain winless, having only amassed three points from three separate draws.

While both teams struggle to accumulate points this season, Valencia will likely gain the upper hand as they have the home advantage at the Mestalla.
The key difference between the two teams lies in their individual quality, where Valencia has a significant advantage. Cristhian Mosquera has been one of the best defenders in the league, helping to limit the damage despite limited support from the backline.

Players like Pepelu and Javi Guerra have remained loyal to the club despite attracting interest from multiple suitors. In contrast, Las Palmas lacks the depth and resources of Valencia’s esteemed academy.
Moreover, matches on Monday evening attract low attendance from visiting fans, which tilts the balance in favor of Valencia in this encounter.
