TABLE WITH ODDS OF POPULAR BOOKMAKERS

A battle of character and ambition awaits us. “Las Palmas”, who barely escaped relegation last season, will try to prove that they are capable of more and are ready to fight to keep their place in the elite division. Sevilla, on the other hand, after a disappointing last season, are eager to rehabilitate themselves in the eyes of their fans and return to their usual high positions.
Odds for Las Palmas vs Sevilla

But we should not forget about Sevilla. The Andalusian club is quoted at odds of 2.5 to 2.648. Bookmakers clearly see Sevilla as favourites, but do not rule out the possibility of a misfire on their part.
For fans of peaceful outcomes, analysts offer odds ranging from 3.1 to 3.405 for a draw. It is quite possible that the teams will play cautiously and go away without a winner.
As for the totals, the experts’ opinions are leaning towards the “bottom.” The odds for the “top” (more than 2.5 goals) range from 2.12 to 2.265, while for the “bottom” (less than 2.5 goals), they offer figures from 1.61 to 1.743.
Las Palmas vs Sevilla Match Prediction
“Sevilla” will be considered the favourite of the meeting, despite the factor of a foreign field. This is evidenced not only by analysts’ quotes, but also by the real facts. The Andalusians are superior to their opponents in class and selection of performers, and they also have an impressive winning streak in head-to-head matches. “Sevilla” will try to seize the initiative from the first minutes and achieve a comfortable advantage.
“Las Palmas will face a very difficult test at the start of the new championship. The Canaries had an extremely poor end to last season, suffering 7 defeats in the last 10 rounds. The main task for the islanders will be not to concede a quick goal and try to catch the opponent on the counterattack. However, it will be extremely difficult to do so, given the difference in class between the teams.
Given the difference in class, the current form of the teams and the history of the rivalry, the most likely outcome of the match is a minimal victory for Sevilla with a difference of one or two goals, for example, 0:1 or 0:2. The Andalusians will try to realise their advantage and start the season with a victory, even if it is not the brightest in terms of content.
Match prediction: Sevilla win at odds of 2.60.
Recent official meetings
Las Palmas
“Las Palmas finished the 23/24 season extremely disappointing, suffering seven defeats and three draws in the last ten La Liga matches. Such results could not but affect the team’s league position, which almost left the elite division.
Especially painful were defeats from direct rivals in the fight for survival – Mallorca (1:0), Cadiz (0:0) and Alaves (1:1). In these matches, Las Palmas failed to show character and get the much-needed points.
Defeats to Celta (4:1) and Girona (0:2) only emphasised the crisis in which the team found itself. Losses to Barcelona (1-0), Sevilla (0-2), Real Sociedad (2-0) and Almeria (0-1) did not add positivity either.
Draws with Alaves (1:1), Cadiz (0:0) and Betis (2:2) can be credited to Las Palmas.
In general, the Canarian club had a weak season and narrowly avoided relegation from the elite of Spanish football. The team will have to seriously rebuild and fight in La Liga, but this will require a qualitative strengthening of the squad and a change in the game philosophy.

As for Sevilla, it finished the championship extremely unstable, alternating wins and losses. In the last ten La Liga matches, the Andalusians won four, lost five, and drew once.
Sevilla’s successes include wins over Granada (3-0), Mallorca (2-1), Las Palmas (0-2) and Getafe (0-1).
However, defeats to Barcelona (1:2), Atletico (2:0), Cadiz (0:1), Villarreal (3:2) and Celta (1:2) prevented Sevilla from competing for a place in the European Cup and left a mixed impression of the end of the season.
In general, Sevilla had a mixed season and failed to fulfil the goal of qualifying for the European Cup. The club will have to work on its mistakes and strengthen its squad in order to return to the top of Spanish football.
