**Villarreal, Spain** – Villarreal will look to continue their strong start to the La Liga season when they host struggling Las Palmas at Estadio de la Ceramica on Monday night. The Yellow Submarine currently sits in fifth place with 14 points from their first seven matches, while Las Palmas languishes at the bottom of the table with only three points.
Villarreal’s recent form has been impressive, with their only defeat coming against league leaders Barcelona. They bounced back from that loss with a 2-1 victory over Espanyol on Thursday, thanks to a brace from star striker Ayoze Perez, who has been in excellent form this season.
Las Palmas, on the other hand, has struggled to find consistency, with only one draw in their last four matches. They did manage to secure a point against Real Betis last week, but they will need to start picking up wins soon to avoid falling further behind the rest of the league.
While Las Palmas enjoyed a double over Villarreal last season, their current form suggests a difficult task lies ahead. Villarreal’s strong start and home advantage makes them the favorites to win this match.
**Key Players:**
* **Villarreal:** Ayoze Perez (striker)
* **Las Palmas:** Alberto Moleiro (attacking midfielder)
**Injuries:**
* **Villarreal:** Yeremy Pino, Willy Kambwala, Gerard Moreno, Juan Foyth, Alfonso Pedraza, Raul Albiol (doubtful)
* **Las Palmas:** Mika Marmol, Marvin Park, Scott McKenna, Sandro Ramirez (doubtful)
**Prediction:** Villarreal to win comfortably.
