The 2024-25 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this week as Valencia lock horns with Las Palmas in a crucial encounter at the Estadio de Mestalla on Sunday. Both teams have been in poor form so far this season and will want to win this game.
Valencia vs Las Palmas Preview
Las Palmas are rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings and have failed to cope with the rigors of the top flight this season. The away side slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Celta Vigo last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Valencia, on the other hand, are in 19th place in the league table and have also struggled so far this season. Los Che were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Leganes in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.

Valencia have been a shadow of their former selves over the past year and could find themselves in a relegation battle by the end of the season. Los Che have good players in their ranks and have a point to prove going into this game.
Las Palmas have also been abysmal so far and are in desperate need of a shot in the arm. Valencia are the better team on paper and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
