Real Madrid has a challenging match ahead against Las Palmas this very afternoon at Santiago Bernabéu. Despite being played at the white coliseum, the feelings from the overtime against Celta de Vigo are still present among Madrid fans, something that will mark the match.
Not just internally. Julio Maldonado has started his analysis of this match by referencingprecisely, the Copa del Rey round of 16 match: “they didn’t play well in many parts of the match”. The journalist known as “Maldini” believes that Real Madrid “for me still has many doubts, but well, Endrick and Valverde saved them in overtime” with three remarkable goals.

After reviewing the absences both teams have for this match, Julio Maldonado recalls his opinion about Real Madrid after the defeat in the Spanish Super Cup. “I said that Madrid had three fairly easy matches in a row, which are the one against Celta, which they struggled with but solved, this one, and then Salzburg in the Champions League”. The goal is, then, “to win three matches in a row and recover a bit of morale because the team was down after that defeat”.
However, the ‘legacy’ of what happened in Jeddah is very clear for ‘Maldini’: “soccer-wise, Madrid is not doing well,” the journalist states. However, not all news is bad for the coaching staff led by Carlo Ancelotti, because “Mbappé is at a great level. Mbappé’s last two matches have been spectacular, so I think Las Palmas, logically, will have a very tough time”.

The victory percentages of both teams leave no doubt about who Julio Maldonado considers the favorite for this match at Santiago Bernabéu. Perhaps because they’re playing in their own stadium, the analyst gives Real Madrid a 75% chance of winningleaving a 20% probability of a draw at the merengue coliseum.
-The victory of the island teamaccording to Julio Maldonado’s estimates, has a 5% chance of occurring. “The same I gave Leganés in Barcelona, and they won,” the journalist recalls. “Why not? It’s possible,” Julio Maldonado states when talking about the white team’s next commitment.

Real Madrid must maintain the winning rhythm they started against Celta de Vigoalthough it’s true they needed to go into overtime to solve it. Be that as it may, the change in competition could also bring a change in the quality of the team’s play and in the merengue players.
Because the possibility of establishing themselves as LaLiga leaders against Atlético de Madrid is at stake. Once again, the white club has one less match than their rivals for the top spot in the top domestic competition, an advantage that could determine the outcome next May.
