Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s 2025 started with a humiliation in Jeddah as they succumbed to Barcelona in the Supercup final, down 4-1 by half-time.
Although Real Madrid had just defeated Minera in the Copa del Rey before the match against Barca, their return to action has been far from pleasant.
Several players were booed in the match against Celta Vigo (5-2 victory after extra time), including Aurélien Tchouaméni. More importantly, coach Carlo Ancelotti was also booed, as the shocking Clásico defeat heightened fan doubts about his future at the club.

Despite the humiliating result, the Italian is expected to remain in charge until the end of the season.
Despite the criticism, Carlo Ancelotti’s team ranks second in La Liga, one point behind Atlético de Madrid. The team is bolstered by an in-form Kylian Mbappé, who opened the scoring against Barcelona in the fifth minute.
After facing criticism for his slow adaptation, the Frenchman has shown steady improvement over the last two months and is emerging as the team’s best attacker alongside Jude Bellingham.

While Camavinga and Tchouaméni often face criticism, Federico Valverde’s relentless intensity on and off the ball makes him a fan favorite, as he ranks among the team’s fastest players.
Daniel Carvajal remains sidelined, while Vinícius Jr. will serve a suspension following his red card against Valencia.
Las Palmas
In October, Diego Martínez took charge of Las Palmas after the club had found itself in the relegation zone. The results improved immediately, and they now sit 14th in La Liga. They impressively defeated Barcelona and held Real Sociedad to a 0-0 draw. Las Palmas also won key matches against other teams battling relegation, such as Espanyol and Real Valladolid.
However, the team started the 2025 year on the wrong foot, suffering a heavy defeat against Eder Sarabia’s Elche (4-0), followed by a loss to Getafe (2-1).
Club captain Kirian Rodríguez faced backlash on social media following the defeats, leading him to deactivate his accounts after receiving abusive messages. This came as a surprise as the captain is known to have a good relationship with fans, coming to interviews with firm but honest answers.
Real Madrid vs Las Palmas Prediction
- Prediction: Real Madrid to win
- Odds: -626 (20Bet)
- Score Prediction: Real Madrid 3-0 Las Palmas
Real Madrid will be without Vinícius Jr., but they are still expected to defeat Las Palmas at the Bernabéu.
A confidence boost is crucial for the team following the Clásico defeat. There couldn’t be a more fitting opponent than Las Palmas, who struggle to defend against attacking teams.
Tracking Kylian Mbappé will be one of the most important battles of the match, while the defeat against Getafe demonstrates that Las Palmas need to work on their attacking patterns.
Las Palmas are enduring their first major setbacks under their new manager, and this is hardly an ideal moment to visit the Bernabéu.
Real Madrid vs Las Palmas Betting Tip
- Pick: Kylian Mbappé to score
- Odds: -228 (20Bet)
With Vinicius Jr’s suspended, all eyes will be on Mbappé. He is expected to lead the team, similar to what he did against Barcelona. Mbappé will have the qualitative advantage as Las Palmas struggle to defend.
Real Madrid’s counter-attacks will be key in launching Mbappé, with none of the defenders able to match him 1v1. He will be able to count on the help of Bellingham and Rodrygo, who could have a feast at the Bernabéu on Sunday.
