Sevilla FC aims for a strong start in La Liga, as they face Las Palmas with hopes of securing all the three points for a strong start. Last season, these two squads is not far from each other, sitting at the 14th and 16th respectively. During the 2023-24 season, Sevilla finished at the 14th of the league table, which is not that bad. Additionally, Sevilla has won seven consecutive matches against Las Palmas in La Liga, surpassing only Atletico Madrid’s record in this competition’s history. Meanwhile, Las Palmas secures the 16th spot of the league table during the previous season. However, Las Palmas has a record of seven consecutive wins against Andalusia teams in La Liga, marking their worst such record in the club’s history. The meeting between these two teams is on August 17, 2024, at 3:30 AM (GMT+8).
Sevilla FC
Sevilla FC, a Spanish club, have been struggling in recent seasons, finishing 12th and 14th in their last two campaigns. Their worst performance in La Liga since 1999-2000 is evident in their 14th-placed finish last season. The club has also seen a significant turnaround in recent months, with new signings like Lucien Agoume and Kelechi Iheanacho, as well as Albert Sambi Lokonga and Saul Niguez joining on loan from Arsenal and Atletico Madrid. Sevilla has dominated recent meetings between the two sides, winning in their last seven encounters in Spain’s top flight, including a 2-0 win in the corresponding fixture in 2023-24.
Sevilla FC’s Suso and Lokonga are out with knee injuries and hamstring problems respectively. Susa is suspended due to a red card, while Agoume’s loan move from Inter is permanent, and Iheanacho will feature in the final third.
Las Palmas
Las Palmas will welcome Luis Carrion back to Estadio Gran Canaria on Friday evening, following Garcia Pimienta’s departure to Sevilla. Los Amarillos secured a return to La Liga by finishing second in the 2022-23 Segunda Division season and 16th in the top flight last term. The team was seven points clear of the relegation zone, and with 12 new players and 10 leaving over the summer, there will be a fresh squad for the 2024-25 campaign. Carrion, who left Real Oviedo to join the top-flight outfit, will aim to start his reign with a victory on Friday night. Las Palmas played six times over the summer, but their only pre-season victory was a 4-0 win over Union Sur Yaiza earlier this month.
Las Palmas will be without Daley Sinkgraven, Pejino, and Adnan Januzaj for their opening match of the new season. Newcomers Marvin Park, Manu Fuster, and Jasper Cillessen are expected to join. Scott McKenna and Oli McBurnie will also make their debuts.
