Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the La Liga match.
The 10th round of La Liga will conclude with a battle between two of the league's bottom clubs. Both teams are languishing at the lower end of the table and are desperate to secure crucial points to keep their league status intact.
Valencia
Valencia have only accumulated six points so far, but five of those have come in their last four matches, where they've kept clean sheets in three encounters, though they've managed to score in just one. They are facing significant challenges in terms of finishing. Over the last three matches, their players have taken 25 shots at goal, with seven on target, yet none have resulted in a goal.
Las Palmas
The visiting side have not yet experienced victory this season. In their last five fixtures, Las Palmas have only gathered points once, with a draw against Real Betis. Their dismal run prompted the departure of Luis Carrión, with Diego Martinez, formerly of Granada and Espanyol, stepping into the managerial role. Given that his appointment coincided with the international break, the team have had ample time to adapt to the new coach and prepare for the forthcoming clash.
Valencia vs Las Palmas Prediction
It is worth noting that Las Palmas are currently on a 23-match winless streak that began after they last defeated Valencia on February 10 (2:1), although that match was at home. Bookmakers heavily favor the home side in this encounter, but we beg to differ. The visiting players appear invigorated by the managerial change, and we believe they might just surprise everyone by breaking their unfortunate streak.
