Team Form and Fun Facts:🟢🔴

REAL MADRID

Los Blancos are still buzzing from their 3-0 victory against Valladolid, where they finally got their groove back after a 1-1 draw with Mallorca left them feeling like they’d stepped on a Lego. Federico Valverde and Brahim Diaz showed up, clocked in, and got the job done, while Endrick popped in off the bench to seal the deal.

Real Madrid’s unbeaten start to the season might not scream “flawless,” but hey, 1.25 points per away game isn’t exactly pocket change. And with Mbappe still getting cozy with his new teammates, they’re gearing up to make Las Palmas’ defense feel like they’re stuck in a blender.

Las Palmas

The Canaries are singing a sad tune after 16 winless matches in La Liga—it's enough to make even the most loyal fans reconsider their life choices. After a tough 2-1 loss to Leganes, they’re hoping for a miracle or maybe just a point. They’ve averaged a respectable 1.17 points per game at home, but facing a fully-armed Real Madrid is like bringing a butter knife to a sword fight.

Las Palmas hasn’t beaten Real Madrid since dinosaurs roamed the earth (okay, maybe just since 2017), but they’ll be hoping to channel that same energy this Thursday. Spoiler alert: it's going to take more than a lucky rabbit’s foot.

Bank on the Visitors:📈💲

Real Madrid is as solid as your WiFi when you’re streaming the latest Netflix hit. They haven’t lost in their last 34 La Liga games, which is longer than it takes for Las Palmas to find their way back to winning. The math is simple: Real Madrid + Mbappe + Las Palmas’ leaky defense = lots of goals and likely a few broken hearts on the island.

💰Bet 1: Real Madrid Victory @1.31 with MSport.

Mbappe: The Starboy Awakens:🇫🇷✨

Mbappe has already started making waves in Madrid, scoring in the UEFA Super Cup like it was just another day at the office. But La Liga? He’s yet to stamp his name there, and with 286 career goals, you can bet he’s itching to add to his tally. With a 1.29 xG this season, it’s not a question of "if" but "when."

💰Bet 2: Kylian Mbappe Anytime Scorer @1.72 with MSport.

Goals Galore: ⚽️⚽️

Let’s talk goals—because there’s going to be plenty. Las Palmas has an xG of 1.63 at home, but what are their chances of keeping Real Madrid out? Slim. Real Madrid, meanwhile, loves a good goal fest when these two meet; they’ve bagged at least 2 goals in their last 10 clashes. With the last 8 encounters totaling 28 goals, don’t be surprised if this one turns into a scoring bonanza. Grab some popcorn.

💰Bet 3: Over 2.5 Goals @1.54 with MSport.
