🔊 When will Luis Carrión secure his first win as a head coach in La Liga? Las Palmas is facing a challenging stretch with several consecutive losses. In the seventh round of the Spanish Primera, they will go up against Manuel Pellegrini's Betis from Seville at Gran Canaria, with José MarÃa Sánchez MartÃnez officiating the match. In this preview, we’ll highlight key factors that could influence the outcome of the game.
### Head-to-Head
Las Palmas and Betis have faced each other 46 times in Spain's top division. Las Palmas has claimed victory in 17 of those encounters, while Betis has won 21. Notably, Betis has struggled at Gran Canaria, with only three wins in 23 matches there; their last victory on this ground was a 2-1 win back in 1988.
### Las Palmas
Las Palmas is still seeking its first win after six matches, marking a disappointing start for coach Luis Carrión. Currently, they sit at the bottom of the league with just two points, all of which have come from home draws against Sevilla (2-2) and Real Madrid (1-1). Key players include Sandro RamÃrez, who has scored three goals and provided one assist, and Alberto Moleiro, who has netted two goals. However, injuries to defenders Alex Suárez and Scott McKenna present significant challenges as they prepare for their next match.
### Real Betis
Betis experienced a surprising setback in their last match against Mallorca, losing 1-2 at Benito VillamarÃn, with the decisive goal coming in injury time from Valery. This defeat was frustrating for fans and prevented Betis from gaining crucial points, leaving them in 11th place in the standings.
Argentinian midfielder Giovani Lo Celso has been a standout performer for Betis, netting three goals in recent matches against Getafe (2-1) and Mallorca (1-2). However, coach Manuel Pellegrini faces challenges ahead of the upcoming match against Las Palmas, particularly with several key players sidelined. Currently, he will be without Marc Bartra, William Carvalho, Isco, Johnny Cardoso, and Yussuf Sabaly.
### Goals Predictions
Under Carrión’s management, Las Palmas has struggled to establish a solid defense, often leading to mistakes and vulnerabilities. They have conceded at least one goal in every match this season, and in five of their last six games, goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has had to retrieve the ball from the net multiple times. While Betis isn't typically known for their attacking prowess, they can capitalize on the errors made by the home team. Therefore, it seems reasonable to bet on Betis scoring more than one goal in the upcoming match.
### Corners
Despite Las Palmas's poor performance and Betis's mixed results, both teams aim to control the game and maintain possession. This season, Betis has averaged 56% possession, while Las Palmas has a slightly higher average of 58%. Consequently, both teams tend to earn more corners than their opponents. Betis averages 6.7 corners per match, while their rivals average 3.7. Las Palmas, meanwhile, averages 5.5 corners and allows around 3.8. Given these statistics, we can reasonably expect more than 8.5 total corners in the upcoming match.
### Scores24 Prediction for Las Palmas vs. Real Betis
Las Palmas's weak defense and injuries to key players will significantly impact the match's outcome. While Betis has not been entirely convincing, Manuel Pellegrini has a knack for adjusting his team to perform well against struggling sides, as evidenced by their recent victories over Getafe (2-1) and Leganés (2-0).
Las Palmas has historically found it challenging against Betis, and we anticipate another tough game for Luis Carrión and his squad on Thursday. We predict a final score of 1-2, and a solid bet would be on Betis to score more than one goal.
