Valencia vs Las Palmas Predictions

• Valencia have lost just two of their last ten La Liga games.
• Valencia have conceded in eight of their last nine La Liga matches, winning 2-1 three times.

Los Ches aim to improve after dreadful 2022/23

2022/23 was a dismal season for Valencia as they avoided relegation from La Liga by just two points but Los Ches ended the campaign respectively and kicked off the new term with a confidence-building win at Sevilla last weekend.

The hosts have now won five, drawn three and lost just two of their last ten La Liga games and should be able to extend their winning start to the season at the expense of newly-promoted Las Palmas.

Pio Pio face tough task

The visitors, making their first appearance in the top flight since 2017/18, gained a respectable point at home to Mallorca last weekend but face a step up in quality on Friday.

Valencia have taken eight points from their last four home games, including a win over Real Madrid, and will be optimistic after their victory last weekend, so I’m backing a home win here.

Even after their resurgence, clean sheets were hard to come by for Valencia. They have only kept one clean sheet in their last nine La Liga assignments and have won 2-1 three times during this sequence, so that appeals as a correct score prediction.
