Villarreal vs Las Palmas Prediction: Villarreal value for high-scoring success

Villarreal have made a strong start to the La Liga campaign, losing only one of their seven Spanish top-flight matches and that sole defeat came against a top-level Barcelona side.

In contrast, Monday's opponents Las Palmas sit bottom of La Liga, and are without success in their opening seven league games. However, Los Amarillos have taken points from matches against Sevilla, Betis and Real Madrid, and Luis Carrion’s men will be hoping to break their duck at the Estadi de la Ceramica.

Team news

Former Premier League trio Willy Kambwala, Gerard Moreno and Juan Foyth will all miss the visit of Las Palmas and Villarreal will also be without the services of Yeremy Pino and Alfonso Pedraza. Raul Albiol was taken off in the first half against Espanyol last time out and the defender could be replaced by Eric Bailly.

Marvin Park, Scott McKenna and Mika Marmol won’t be part of the Las Palmas squad travelling to Villarreal.

Villarreal to win & both teams to score @ 7/4

Villarreal have made a strong start to the season and the Yellow Submarine's impressive run can continue with a high-scoring success over Las Palmas.

Marcelino’s men have lost only one of their opening seven matches, they have beaten Espanyol, Celta, Sevilla and Mallorca and taken points against Valencia and Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona are the only side to have beaten Villarreal this season, and while that was a heavy 5-1 loss, the Yellow Submarine hit 13 shots and had an expected goals figure of 2.17 in that defeat.

Las Palmas are still searching for their first success, but taking points against Real Madrid, Sevilla and Betis suggests a victory may not be far away.

A trip to the Estadi de la Ceramica looks a tough task for Los Amarillos, but they have scored in all but one of their seven matches this term and Luis Carrion’s men have hopes of finding the net.

The 7/4 on offer about a Villarreal victory and both teams scoring on Monday night looks worth taking.

Over 3.5 goals @ 5/4

The net has bulged 28 times in Villarreal’s seven La Liga matches this term and that includes games which have finished 5-1, 4-3 and 2-2.

Both teams have found the net in each of the Yellow Submarine's matches this term, and with injury issues in defence, getting long on goals could be a play on Monday night.

Las Palmas have seen 21 goals scored in their seven Spanish top-flight matches this term and the Estadi de la Ceramica crowd could be treated to a high-scoring contest.

Match Odds

Villarreal are 4/9 to see off the challenge of Las Palmas, while the visitors are 6/1 and the draw is available at 18/5. Over 2.5 goals is rated an 8/15 chance in what is expected to be a high-scoring clash.
