Las Palmas vs. Real Madrid lineups, predicted starting 11, team news
Las Palmas were disappointed to lose at Leganes last Sunday and will be desperate for a better performance against the champions.
Veteran Jaime Mata could return to the starting lineup, perhaps with Marvin Park — formerly of Madrid — reverting to right-back to free up a space in the attack. Former Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie will lead the line.
Las Palmas predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Cillessen (GK) — Park, Suarez, Marmol, A. Munoz — J. Munoz, Rodriguez — Mata, Moleiro, Sandro — McBurnie.
Injured: None
Suspended: None
Real Madrid are likely to stick with the team that defeated Valladolid, meaning the impressive Arda Guler is set to keep his place while Jude Bellingham recovers from injury. Brahim Diaz performed well off the bench last time out, though, so there's a chance he could force his way into the team.
Endrick's goal-scoring cameo is not expected to be enough to earn a starting spot, although Ancelotti could elect to field the Brazilian as the No. 9 should he move Kylian Mbappe to a wide role and hand either Rodrygo or Vinicius Junior a rest.
Real Madrid predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Courtois (GK) — Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Garcia — Valverde, Tchouameni — Rodrygo, Guler, Vinicius — Mbappe.
Injured: Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, David Alaba
Suspended: None
Las Palmas vs. Real Madrid Prediction
Real Madrid will look to build on their dominant 3-0 victory over Valladolid as they travel to face Las Palmas. Despite a setback in their last away fixture against Mallorca, Madrid will be keen to maintain momentum and secure another three points. Las Palmas, on the other hand, have struggled mightily, going 16 league games without a win.
- Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Las Palmas
