Real Madrid returns to La Liga and will aim to reclaim the top spot as they host Las Palmas for Matchday 20.
The ‘Merengues’ are still reeling from their defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final but will focus on LaLiga, where they have been performing strongly.
Meanwhile, Las Palmas lost one of those matches they simply couldn’t afford to lose against Getafe, and now need a win to avoid sinking further into relegation trouble.

Why Bet on Real Madrid?
Real Madrid aims to move past the bitter memory of their 5-2 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final and refocus on La Liga, where they sit second with 43 points, just one behind Atlético Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side must now put that behind them and concentrate on the challenges ahead. In La Liga, they have two consecutive wins and are unbeaten in their last four games. With 13 wins, four draws, and two losses (to Barcelona and Athletic Club), they boast 43 goals scored, the second-best attack in the league, and 19 goals conceded, making them the fifth-best defense.
Kylian Mbappé leads the team in scoring with 10 goals and two assists, finding the back of the net in their last two matches.
For Sunday, they will be without VinÃcius Jr. and Luka Modric due to suspensions, while Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, and Eduardo Camavinga are sidelined with injuries.
Why Bet on Las Palmas?
For now, Las Palmas is fulfilling its mission. With 22 points, they sit in 14th place, six points above the relegation zone. They were on a solid streak of four unbeaten games, but last weekend they fell at home to Getafe, 1-2.
The team has shown significant improvement since the arrival of coach Diego MartÃnez in late October, achieving six league wins, one draw, and three losses.
Their top scorer is Sandro RamÃrez, who has netted seven of the team’s 24 goals, with four in the last five games.
Injuries include defenders Marvin Park and Viti Rozada, as well as midfielder José Campaña. Additionally, Dário Essugo is suspended for this match.
