Las Palmas vs Villarreal prediction: Both teams to score in away win
Key stats
- Our Las Palmas vs Villarreal betting tips take into account that the hosts have collected just one point from four league games so far in 2025.
- Both teams have scored in every Las Palmas match in La Liga since the turn of the year.
- Villarreal are the third highest scorers in the division, with an average of 2.00 goals per game.
Correct score prediction: Las Palmas 1-3 Villarreal
Las Palmas were terrific initially following the appointment of Diego Martinez earlier in the season, but that honeymoon phase is clearly over now, and they look like quite a limited team again.
With Villarreal scoring freely, having netted four or more in three of their last five league matches, an away win looks very probable here.
