Las Palmas host Levante in the La Liga this weekend, with the home side desperately to end a run of five matches without collecting a single point. However, with Levante also struggling for form, it could well be a tense affair at the Estadio Gran Canaria Stadium on Sunday. Las Palmas host Valencia on Sunday evening hoping to earn just a third win of the campaign so far, and given the form of their opponents in recent weeks, manager Pako Ayestarán will be confident of a good performance.

Las Palmas
LevanteHowever, Levante boss Juan Ramon Lopez Muniz will also be looking to the game as a good chance to return to winning ways, with his side sitting just four points above the relegation zone themselves. Las Palmas were perhaps one of La Liga’s surprise packages last season, however they have so far been unable to reach such heights this time around. For those interested in placing a bet on the match, be sure to check out our top tip below. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with Las Palmas
Las Palmas Team News & Form
Las Palmas come into the match off the back of a 3-0 defeat against reigning champions Real Madrid, with manager Ayestaran undoubtedly hoping that the international break will have done his players some good ahead of kick-off this weekend. The home side have the worst defensive record in the division, having conceded 28 goals during their 11 matches to date. Things have not been much better at the other end of the field, despite Las Palmas having players such as former Chelsea striker Loic Remy, Jonathan Calleri, Sergi Samper and Alen Halilovic in their ranks. Their last victory in La Liga came against Athletic Bilbao way back in the middle of September.
Levante Team News & Form
The visitors themselves are on a run of five matches without a win, with Muniz’s men having lost out to Girona in front of their home fans last time around. Levante have a whole host of players on loan at the club, who are seemingly still adjusting to their surroundings. The likes of Enes Unal, Rober Pier and Sasa Lukic are among the most talented, while midfielder Enis Bardhi is their top scorer in La Liga so far with four goals to his name.
Head to Head
The two teams have nine times in the past, with Levante having won five of such matches, whilst drawing four times in the process. Levante took four points from Las Palmas last season also, following up an away draw with a narrow 3-2 victory at home.
