Las Palmas-Real Madrid: gunning for three points in Gran Canaria
Our team visits the islanders six years on for LaLiga matchday 22 (4:15pm CET).
Real Madrid return to the Estadio Gran Canaria six years after their last visit to face UD Las Palmas in the 22nd LaLiga match of the season (4:15pm CET). Ancelotti's side are looking for their 17th win and to make it 15 games unbeaten in the competition.
It is the first away game in 2024 for our team, who will be looking to prolong the same sensations they have shown at the Santiago Bernabéu. The fixture in the first leg ended in a 2-0 home win. In terms of LaLiga results, Madrid have visited Gran Canaria on 34 occasions, with a record of 17 wins, 10 draws and 7 defeats.
"It's going to be a demanding game and we have to do our best," said Ancelotti at the pre-match press conference. The coach will be without Bellingham in his squad, who is serving a suspension after accumulating five yellow cards, but will be able to count on Rodrygo (7 goals), Vini Jr. (5) and Joselu (5). Their contribution will be key to overcoming the Canaries' defence, which is the second best in the competition with just 17 goals conceded.
