Las Palmas vs Celta – Tips and Prediction

Las Palmas vs Celta is our pick of the day from the Spanish top division!

After a hysterically uneventful affair in yesterday's clash between Leganés and Valencia, it's fair to hope for a bit more entertainment when Las Palmas and Celta Vigo face off in the Canary Islands tonight.

West Ham vs Ipswich: Betting Tips and Predictions

Las Palmas have by no means had a particularly good start to the season, and are currently last on the table with only three points after eight rounds. Their first win of the season is still elusive, and all their points have come at home in the form of three draws. They are strong at Estadio de Gran Canaria and held reigning champions Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw here just over a month ago.

Celta Vigo started the season brilliantly with two wins out of two in the opening rounds, but reality has since caught up with them. Claudio Giráldez’s squad has won only one of their last six games, a 3-1 home victory against newly promoted Real Valladolid three weeks ago. Celta arrive in the Canary Islands with just one point from their last three matches, but they have faced formidable opponents in these; Athletic Bilbao, Atlético Madrid, and Girona.

Las Palmas vs Celta Betting Tip and Prediction

Double Chance: Draw or Las Palmas (1,72 Odds)

The island teams in La Liga are traditionally strong at home, as exemplified by Las Palmas' 1-1 result against Real Madrid, and often put on a show in the Canary Islands. We believe tonight’s hosts will avoid defeat at playable odds.

Prediction: Another 1-1 draw?

Three of Las Palmas' last five home games have ended 1-1. On paper, this is a very evenly matched contest, and a 1-1 result seems far from unlikely.
