- Venue: Santiago Bernabéu
Real Madrid will be looking to register successive win for the first since the Supercopa defeat to Barcelona when they play host to Las Palmas in La Liga on Saturday afternoon.
The home side's only defeat in the last month and a half was the Supercopa humiliation against FC Barcelona in Saudi Arabia five days ago. Vinicius Junior and co. had the chance to respond in midweek when they welcomed Celta Vigo to the Santiago Bernabéu for a Copa del Rey round 16 tie. Los Blancos survived a scare from Celta, who scored two late goals to level the scores. Real Madrid book their place in the quarter-finals with a 3-0 win after extra time, thanks to goals from Endrick and Federico Valverde.
Las Palmas meanwhile go into Saturday's game on the back of successive defeats in the Copa del Rey and La Liga. Los Amarillos shipped four goals without reply against Elche before losing 2-1 to Getafe in the league last weekend. The defeat to Elche reduced Diego Martínez Penas's side to just six points above the relegation zone, but they will take heart from the fact that they have lost just one of their last five away games.
Real Madrid vs Las Palmas Betting Tips: Real Madrid to win & Over 2.5 goals
Real Madrid may not have been at their best by their own standards, but they have been good at home in La Liga recently and I think they will be too hot for Las Palmas to handle. Los Blancos won their last three league games at the Bernabéu by a combined score of 10:2 and that's an average of four goals seen per game.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Real Madrid vs Las Palmas prediction: 3-1

Real Madrid team news
Real Madrid will continue to be without Daniel Carvajal who is nursing a cruciate ligament injury that rules him out until at least August.
Los Blancos’ injury list also includes Éder Militão who suffered a cruciate ligament tear in the 4-0 win over Osasuna at this ground back in November.
Kylian Mbappé boasts a goal from each of his last two matches and should partner Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo in the final third though Endrick is an option after his brace last time out.

Las Palmas head coach Diego Martínez Penas will continue to rely on the services of Wolverhamton Wanderers loanee Fábio Silva who has five goals and two assists this season.
Silva is expected to lead the line at the Bernabéu and could be supported by the likes of Sandro Ramírez and Alberto Moleiro who have eleven goals between them this season.
