Real Madrid vs Las Palmas


Match preview

Real Madrid have played four times since their last league game, a 2-1 win over Valencia at the start of 2025, when Carlo Ancelotti's men were reduced to 10 men and trailed 1-0 in the closing stages at the Mestalla before coming from behind to claim a vital three points.


Los Blancos defeated Deportiva Minera and Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey this month to book their place in the quarter-finals, but were beaten 5-2 by Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup last weekend.


Real Madrid currently sit second in La Liga, five points clear of third-placed Barcelona and a point behind leaders Atletico, who are in exceptional form, and Diego Simeone's men could be four points clear at the summit by the time the game kicks off.


Los Blancos will certainly be in contention for the title this season, but they also have their work cut out in the Champions League, where they sit 20th in the standings ahead of their final two league games against Red Bull Salzburg and Brest.


Real Madrid have won eight and lost just one of their nine league games at the Bernabeu this term, boasting the second-best home record in the league, while they have never been beaten by Las Palmas in front of their own supporters, so there is some history on offer for the visitors on Sunday afternoon.
