Real Madrid is the favorite team to win the upcoming match because they are currently in fantastic form, playing really well. On the other hand, Las Palmas, although not performing poorly, is not as strong as Real Madrid right now. Real Madrid's superior performance suggests they have a good chance of winning. However, it's essential to acknowledge that Las Palmas is not a weak team; in fact, they are doing quite well, holding the eighth position in the La Liga table.
Adding to the challenge for Real Madrid, this match is Las Palmas' home game, and historically, they tend to be exceptionally strong when playing at home. This season, Las Palmas has only lost three home games, highlighting their resilience. So, while Real Madrid may be the favorite, winning the game won't be a walk in the park. Anticipating a tough match, the outcome remains uncertain, and it will be interesting to see how both teams perform on the field.
Ancelotti must change his strategy when facing Las Palmas next week, to reduce the risk as in the previous match against Almeria, we know Madrid finally got lucky after Carvajal scored a goal in the last minute. I think if happens again that they worry too much about dropping points, because last minute luck is not always on their side. The competition for the top of the standings is the background why Los Blancos must perform optimally when facing Las Palmas, because Girona has so far shown no signs of declining performance and will continue to put pressure on Madrid.
In the first half of the season, Madrid managed to beat Las Palmas with a score of 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu, yes the next match will be held at Las Pal Mas home ground, I predict this will not have a big influence on the mentality of Ancelotti fleet. On paper there is no doubt at all about Madrid, and betting on them winning seems like a very safe thing to do. In fact, I think even though the match will be fierce, Las Palmas will not be able to surprise us by beating Madrid.
