Team Analysis
Las Palmas: Las Palmas had a strong first half of the previous season, allowing them to survive comfortably in La Liga despite a poor run of form in the spring. They ended the season with 40 points, avoiding relegation by a comfortable margin. However, the departure of key defenders Cardona and Coco in the summer has weakened their backline, although they have attempted to bolster their squad with new signings such as McBurnie, Januzaj, Manuel Fuster, and Ivan Cedric.
Sevilla: Sevilla had a disappointing season by their standards, and the club has since undergone significant changes, including the appointment of Garcia Pimienta as head coach. The new coach has already started to make an impact, with the team showing improvement in recent friendlies. Sevilla’s transfer strategy has focused on shedding payroll while also bringing in reinforcements like Agoume, Saul, Ejuke, and Iheanacho to strengthen the squad. Sevilla's recent form and their strong record against Las Palmas suggest they could secure a positive result in this match.
