Las Palmas continues to struggle in the new year. They are now just two points above the relegation zone and have not won in their last five matches, losing four of them. Interestingly, they have only failed to score in one home game so far, with both teams scoring in 8 out of their 11 home matches, as Las Palmas have only won three times at home this season.
Villarreal is in fifth place in the table and is performing much better than their opponents, having also had two extra days to recover. They defeated Valladolid 5-1 at home in the last round, and before that drew 1-1 away at Atletico Madrid. Villarreal has not kept a clean sheet away from home this season, but they do score a lot, with both teams regularly finding the back of the net in their matches.
Prediction: Villarreal to win, both teams to score: YESLas Palmas is clearly not doing well, unlike Villarreal. The visitors definitely look like the more likely winner in this match, where it wouldn't be surprising to see goals at both ends.
