La Liga fans have some Monday night football action to look forward to and we take a look at the game between Las Palmas and Celta de Vigo from a betting angle.
Let’s start with a look at the latest La Liga Outright Betting where Real Madrid are 9/10 favourites ahead of Barcelona at 5/4. Atlético Madrid can be backed at 9/1 and there is a 100/1 and better the balance.

LAS PALMAS
Las Palmas are currently 18th on the log with just 1 win from their opening 7 games, that came in their penultimate start which was a home win against Granada and they got up to win 1-0. Their last start was away to Real Madrid where they were 15/1 underdogs and lost 2-0.
Looking more closely at their home form they have played 3 games, winning 1 and drawing 2 so they are undefeated, but goals have been scarce with only 3 goals in total and all 3 of their home matches have delivered profits for under 2.5 goal backers.
CELTA DE VIGO
Celta de Vigo are 1 position above Las Palmas on the table and have also won 1 of their first 7 matches. They were at home to Alaves in their last start, drawing 1-1 and their last away game was a creditable 3-2 defeat to Barcelona, a game where they started double-digit underdogs.
Celta de Vigo have played 3 away matches this season taking 4 points from a possible 9 and there have been 12 goals in those 3 matches with 2 of the 3 games reaching the 3 goal mark.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
There is no recent head-to-head form between the sides.

Las Palmas 13/8
Draw 22/10
Celta de Vigo 15/8
My first instinct here is to look at the goals market, but it is quite tricky as the Las Palmas games have been low scoring at home while the Celta de Vigo away matches have had plenty of goals.
I know I said I wouldn’t look at head-to-head form as there is nothing recent, but I couldn’t resist going back in time to see that the last 10 matches these sides have played against each other has seen both teams find the back of the net and over 2.5 goals scored. I am going to let that swing me into an over 2.5 goals bet here at current odds of 5/4.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 5/4
One man who has impressed me from Celta de Vigo is Jorgen Strand Larsen who had 2 goals to his credit so far. I am going to back the Norwegian to find the back of the net at anytime during this game.
Suggested Bet: Anytime Goal Scorer, Jorgen Strand Larsen at 26/10
