Real Madrid and Las Palmas will face each other at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for La Liga this Sunday, January 19 at 12:15 pm (ARG, URU and CHI) and 10:15 pm (COL, PER and ECU).
Why is this important?
The last two games were not easy for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, who suffered a tough 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, and then had some trouble to knock Celta out of the Copa del Rey in extra time.
Before the doubts start to emerge more strongly, the team needs to get to the table quickly. At the front will be Las Palmas, a humble team that is far from the relegation zone and who already knows how to beat Barcelona at the end of 2024.
Players to follow in Real Madrid vs. The presence of Federico Valverde from the substitute bench in the last game against Celta suggests that Uruguay will start this Sunday. El Halcón added another spectacular goal to his fantastic collection of shots from outside the area, and it would be a threat for the island team to consider.
In Las Palmas, the talented Alberto Moleiro is the man to watch out for in the Merengue team’s game destroyers. The young midfielder has caught the attention of the football world with his performances and it could be difficult for Real Madrid if they let him play freely.
They arrive in the same way
Real Madrid have just beaten Celta de Vigo 5-2 in extra time for the Copa del Rey, and earlier lost by the same score against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. They are second in the LaLiga table behind Atletico Madrid.
Las Palmas have managed only one win in their last four appearances in all competitions. They come into this duel on the back of a 1-2 loss against Getafe in La Liga.
The last example
The last time these two teams met was on August 29, 2024 for the current LaLiga season. The match ended in a 1-1 draw with goals from Alberto Moleiro and Vigeas Jr. for the locals at the Gran Canaria Stadium.
