Bitesize Prediction: Las Palmas vs Real Betis – 26/09/24

Competition: La Liga

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Looking to make an immediate return to winning ways on Thursday night, Real Betis will travel to the Estadio Gran Canaria when they meet Las Palmas.

Starting with the hosts, while Las Palmas might have eventually clung to their La Liga status last season, Luis Carrion’s men have once again continued to show a string of glaring issues. Marking their return from September’s international break with an action-packed 3-2 defeat at home against Athletic Bilbao, Los Amarillos find themselves pencilled in as a leading relegation contender this time around. Putting in yet another worrying performance last weekend as they slumped to a 2-1 loss away at Osasuna, the Yellows have collected just a pair of points from any of their first six La Liga appearances. With their extended struggles underlined by another 2-1 defeat against Leganes last month, Las Palmas are desperately seeking some much-needed defensive resolve. Opening proceedings with a 2-2 stalemate against Sevilla on August 16th, Carrion’s side have shipped 12 goals in their first six top-flight battles.

As for the visitors, suffering what was a real collapse at home against Mallorca last weekend as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Mallorca, Real Betis are certainly seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, marking their return from September’s international break with a 2-1 win against Getafe, Manuel Pellegrini’s men are tipped as a leading European contender once again this season. Storming their way to a Europa Conference League ticket last month as they secured a thumping 5-0 aggregate win against Kryvbas, the former Manchester City boss will be looking to cash in on a Las Palmas squad that find themselves sat rock-bottom of the table. However, mustering just a single clean sheet from any of their last four appearances, we could be set for an enjoyable affair here. With Thursday’s opponents playing out a 2-2 stalemate when they last met back on May 16th, chances could fall at both ends of the pitch.
