Las Palmas take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 12 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, November 3rd at Estadio de Gran Canaria (Las Palmas).
Las Palmas have made their way to La Liga before. The last time they climbed back up in 2015, they managed to stay there for three years, even though they showed mediocre results. After relegation, they started from the 12th position in the 2018/2019 season and gradually improved. There was a chance to make it to La Liga again last year, but after finishing fourth, they lost in the playoffs. The lesson was learned, and the following season brought them the 2nd position, which allowed them to return to the top flight. It's clear that, like any other newcomer, their top priority now is to survive. They started with two draws in the first five matches, but they managed to win three out of four games starting from late September. After the international break, they suffered a 0-1 loss to Rayo Vallecano. However, they then went on to win 2-1 against Almeria away and convincingly defeated a team called Manacor in the cup. So, the newcomers should be in good spirits.

Atletico are playing decent football. The Mattress Makers have at least started better than they did a year ago. Things aren't going perfectly in the Champions League, but it's worth remembering that they had a complete failure in 2022, finishing last in their group. At the moment, the Spaniards have won at home against Feyenoord with a score of 3-2 and managed to secure draws against Lazio (although they conceded a late equalizing goal making it 1-1, and it was even scored by the goalkeeper, Ivan Provedel) and Celtic. They also faced a 0-3 defeat against Valencia, for which Diego Simeone criticized his players. They hadn't scored against Betis before that. However, they have won the other matches, including a 3-1 victory in the Madrid derby against Real. After their 2-1 win against Alaves, Cholo's team lags behind the pair of leaders by three points but has a game in hand. The match against Sevilla was postponed due to unforeseen weather conditions.
All three of the most recent matches between the clubs ended in victories for Cholo's team. However, it's worth noting that the last time these teams faced each other was in 2018. Las Palmas is having a decent season, but this also means they are unlikely to put up strong resistance now. Let's bet on the victory of Los Colchoneros (Atletico Madrid).
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win.
