On January 3 2018 at 20:00 in the upcoming second leg game of the Cope del Rey Round of 16 at the Estadio de Gran Canaria the local Las Palmas are playing against their guests Valencia.
Las Palmas keep losing points almost without fighting and now they are considered to be one of the teams who are most likely to relegate after the end of the current championship. In their 17 matches already played Las Palmas only gained 11 points with 13:38 goal difference which only let the take the 20th position in the standings. Just like all of the teams of the Primera Las Palmas started their way in the Copa del Rey in the Round of 32 where they outplayed Deportivo 6:4 in two leg games.
As for Valencia, they started the season really well and yet by the middle of the championship they went down a lot. They lost to Villarreal 0:1 at home in the latest match and that loss was the second one in a row for the team. The Bets are now on the third place in the standings with 34 points gained with 36:17 goal difference. Valencia started their campaign in the Copa del Rey in the previous rounds and outplayed Zaragoza 1:6 there.
The teams have already played five games against each other since January 2016 and in those matches Las Palmas won three times and Valencia won twice. In the latest game between them in august Valencia won 1:0. Valencia really need to win and Las Palmas are the competitors they are supposed to outplay easily. We think that the hosts are much more likely to win this time.
