Girona vs Las Palmas: Preview
Girona form analysis
They have made an excellent start in their 2nd season back up in La Liga, winning 2 and drawing 1 of their opening 3 games.
They began by claiming a credible 1-1 draw away to European contenders Real Sociedad, equalizing in the second half through Dovbyk. Girona built on that with an emphatic 3-0 home win over Getafe, dominating throughout thanks to goals from Herrera and a Stuani brace.
Most recently, Girona secured their first away victory by beating Sevilla 1-2 through strikes from Herrera again and Aleix Garcia. It was another impressive performance.
Overall, Girona have looked right at home back in the top flight under Michel Sanchez. Blending defensive solidarity with clinical finishing has been a successful formula so far.
Playing with such control and maturity has been particularly pleasing against quality opponents like Sociedad and Sevilla. Maintaining this form would make European qualification a possibility this season.
Las Palmas form analysis
Las Palmas have made a steady start to life back in the top flight, recording 2 draw and 1 defeat from their opening 3 games.
They began well by fighting back to draw 1-1 at home with Mallorca after conceding a second half equalizer to Viera’s penalty. Las Palmas then put in a solid display before narrowly losing 0-1 away to Valencia after conceding a late penalty.
Most recently, Las Palmas produced an excellent performance to hold Champions League-chasing Real Sociedad to a goalless home draw. They looked organized defensively while carrying a threat on the break.
Overall, it’s been a promising opening to the season for Las Palmas as they aim to retain their La Liga status. Competing well against quality sides like Valencia and Sociedad has been impressive.
Maintaining intensity for full games and taking more of their chances will be key. But early signs suggest Las Palmas have enough about them to be competitive this term if they maintain this form. The foundations are there to pull away from relegation danger.
