Valencia take on the visitors Las Palmas in the round 10 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, October 21st at Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia).
Valencia have improved as the season progresses. Last season, the "Bats" finally displayed good football. Unlike previous campaigns where they fought for survival, they even attempted to challenge for European competition spots and ultimately secured a place in the upper half of La Liga's final standings. However, after the summer break, Rubén Baraja’s team had a tough start: three consecutive defeats, albeit against strong opponents like Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao, and an in-form Celta. After five rounds, they had only managed one draw, against Villarreal. But later, at the end of September, they secured a long-awaited victory over Girona, followed by goalless draws against Osasuna and Leganés, though also suffering a 0-3 defeat to Real Sociedad. Clearly, there's still room for improvement, as their overall statistics remain close to relegation level.

Las Palmas have had a disastrous start to the season. Initially, it wasn't too bad—Carrion, who took over as head coach in the summer, made his official debut with a 2-2 home draw against Sevilla. The next home match resulted in a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid. But after that, the losses started to pile up, and the only other point came from a 1-1 draw with Betis, a team facing its own struggles. Everything else was lost, and the team sank to the bottom of La Liga’s standings. Unsurprisingly, during the international break, a new coach was appointed—Diego Martínez Peñas, known for his success with Granada, where he led them from the Segunda Division to the Europa League playoffs. He will make his debut on Monday in his new role.
In 6 of the last 7 matches between these teams, the home side has emerged victorious. The other game ended in a draw. "Los Ches" hold more advantages in this matchup. We recommend betting on a victory for the home team, despite the opponent's new coach.
Prediction for the match: Valencia to win.
