A Sports Betting Pick by Gladiator
Football: Spanish La Liga - Round 20
Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid), Spain
Sunday, 19th January 2025 - Kick Off 16:15 CET
Real Madrid
Real Madrid comes into this match looking to bounce back after a heavy 5-2 loss to Barcelona in the Super Cup final. The defeat exposed defensive vulnerabilities, especially with key defenders like Militão and Carvajal still out due to injuries.
Despite the setback, Carlo Ancelotti’s side remains focused on the La Liga title race, where they are well-positioned to challenge Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
I expect Real Madrid to come out strong, eager to erase the memories of their Super Cup disappointment and take advantage of the wrong steps of Barcelpo and Atl Madrid in this round.
Las Palmas
Las Palmas have found life in La Liga challenging, especially away from home. Their defensive weaknesses are often exposed against more vigorous opponents, and they have failed to produce consistent results against teams in the top half of the table.
While they rely on counterattacking football, Las Palmas will unlikely have much room to operate against a dominant Real Madrid side at the Bernabeu. The good thing for the Canary Islands team is that it is not endangered at the moment, as the relegation zone seems a distant place.
The Betting Verdict
Real Madrid’s superior quality and current form suggest they should comfortably control this match from start to finish. The attacking trio of Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham is expected to put Las Palmas under significant pressure from the opening whistle.
Moreover, Mbappe is getting on form as well, scoring decent goals in the past matches, which will also play a pivotal role in this match, knowing that he can score from every situation.
