Las Palmas
After suffering a heavy 5-2 loss to Barcelona in the Super Cup final at the weekend, Real Madrid will be aiming to give fans some cheer when they take on Las Palmas in the La Liga round 20. Los Blancos are eyeing their third consecutive league win and they are seen as hot favourites to beat Las Palmas at their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Both Vinicius Junior and Luka Modric are banned for the match, while defenders Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal continue to miss out with injuries.
La Union Deportiva, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Elche in the Copa del Rey and given their negative record at “Bernabeu”, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Forward Viti continues to miss out with injury for the visiting team, while midfielder Jose Campana faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s encounter.
Highlighted Player (Luka Modric):
Luka Modric is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in world football. The Croatian ace is a product of Dinamo Zagreb’s youth school and it has to be noted that he played 94 league games for the Modri between 2003 and 2008. In 2008 he signed a six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £16.5 million.
Luka made his Tottenham debut on 16 August, 2008 in a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium. The Croatian star scored only 13 goals in 127 league appearances for the Spurs, but he is well known for his brilliant passing. In 2012 he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of £30 million and he made his debut against Barcelona in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, return leg.
Modric quickly established himself as a first-team regular and, no doubt, he helped the capital club win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016). You should bear in mind that he was named Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2014.
Highlighted Team (Las Palmas):
Las Palmas are a Spanish football club based in the Canary Islands. The club was founded on 22 August, 1949. Los Amarillos play in Spanish La Liga and the team’s home ground is Estadio Gran Canaria. The stadium was opened in 2003 and it’s current capacity is 32,150. Miguel Angel Ramirez is the club’s chairman and the club’s main rivals are Tenerife.
Las Palmas impressed in the 2015/2016 La liga campaign, with the team finishing the season in 11th place in the standings. However, it has to be noted that los Amarillos finished the 1968/1969 Primera Division campaign in second place in the table, 11 points behind Spanish giants Real Madrid.
