Las Palmas lost 1-2 away to Osasuna in the last match, and the team has yet to win a game this season. Currently, Las Palmas sits at the bottom of the league table with a record of two draws and four losses. As a small club in Spain, Las Palmas has spent a long time in lower divisions. Last season, they narrowly avoided relegation by finishing 16th. This summer, Las Palmas did not invest much in the transfer market, so their overall strength has not significantly improved. However, it is worth noting that Las Palmas has shown great fighting spirit at home. Although they have only recorded two draws and one loss in the three home matches so far, they faced strong opponents such as Sevilla, Real Madrid, and Athletic Club. Even Real Madrid could not conquer Las Palmas’ home ground, and the only defeat was by a narrow margin of one goal.
Real Betis lost 1-2 at home to Mallorca in the last match, ending the momentum of two consecutive league wins. This season, Real Betis has faced the challenge of competing on two tournaments early on, resulting in unsatisfactory performances in both the UEFA Europa Conference League and LaLiga. After six rounds of the league, Real Betis has only achieved two wins, two draws, and two losses, gradually falling behind the top teams in the standings. Additionally, due to scheduling, Real Betis has had three fewer days of rest than Las Palmas for this match, putting the players’ stamina to the test. Furthermore, Real Betis’ away performance has been far inferior to the home form; they have only recorded one draw and one loss in the two away league matches this season, both of which ended in being shut out by the opponents, making the overall away performance quite mediocre.
Although Las Palmas’ overall strength and performance are far inferior to Real Betis, their home fighting spirit should not be underestimated. Moreover, Las Palmas has achieved an impressive record of three wins and one draw in their last four home matches against Real Betis. This shows that home advantage is definitely a source of confidence for Las Palmas. Considering Real Betis’ mediocre away performance, it would be reasonable to expect Las Palmas to secure points at home in this match.
