La Liga
After playing four matches in different cups, Real Madrid returns to the league. There is no room for error if they want to chase the top spot. On Thursday, they had to go through extra time to eliminate Celta at home in the cup tournament. In La Liga, they have eight wins and one loss in nine home games this season. The loss was against Barcelona, whom they recently lost to again, and now only a victory is expected in the upcoming match.
The new year did not start well for Las PalmasLas Palmas showed improvement towards the end of the first half of the season. We cannot forget their 2-1 victory as a guest against Barcelona, so they should not be underestimated now. However, in the new year, they have already played two matches, both of which they lost. First, they fell 0-4 as guests to Elche and were eliminated from the cup, and last week they also suffered a defeat in the league after a 1-2 loss at home to Getafe.
Prediction: Real to win and over 2.5 goalsReal's last two matches were not good, and they are expected to bounce back, especially if they do not want to fall behind at the top. Lately, they have been involved in high-scoring matches, with over 2.5 goals in their last 11 games in all competitions. This one could be the same. Despite their two losses this month, Las Palmas should not be underestimated, and I wouldn't rule out them scoring a goal, even if it turns out to be just a consolation.
