Real Madrid are currently 3rd in the points table after 29 games with 60 points. They trail rivals and table toppers FC Barcelona by 15 points. They are definitely not going to win the league this season.
Los Blancos are in good form at the moment and hammered Girona just before the international break. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in that game.
Real Madrid also have Champions League aims in mind. They will look to reach the semi’s when they take on Juventus in coming days. Real Madrid won the last two trophies and will be looking to make a hat-trick of trophies.
On the other hand, Las Palmas are currently in the relegation zone and the only way is up for them. They are not in great form either currently and will have a tough task against the champions.
So far Real Madrid and Las Palmas have played each other 9 times. Out of that Los Blancos have won on 6 occasions while loosing once, 2 other games have been a draw.
