Where to watch Real Madrid vs. Las Palmas, start time, lineups & prediction for todayʼs clash

Real Madrid are gearing up to face Las Palmas at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday as they aim to bounce back from their Supercopa de España disappointment against Barcelona. The defeat has cast a shadow over Carlo Ancelotti’s men, but a strong performance here could restore some momentum and keep them in the hunt for the La Liga title.

According to the latest updates, Real Madrid’s squad depth will be tested due to a series of injuries and suspensions. Defensive troubles persist, with Antonio Rüdiger reportedly sidelined due to knee issues, adding to the absences of Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão.

David Alaba’s return would be timely, though it’s uncertain if the Austrian defender will be fit for this clash. Fran Garcia is also expected to sit out after picking up an injury midweek.

Offensively, Los Blancos still boast a formidable lineup. Kylian Mbappé leads the attack, but Vinícius Jr. and Luka Modrić will miss out through suspension.

Ancelotti may turn to Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz to complement Mbappé’s presence up front, supported by a midfield trio of Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, and Federico Valverde.

Las Palmas, currently 14th in the table, have shown steady form but come into this match following a loss to Getafe. Manager Diego Martínez has most of his squad available, but injuries to Viti, Daley Sinkgraven, and Ollie McBurnie leave him with fewer options. Their attack will likely rely on the pace of Park, the creativity of Kike Rodríguez, and the finishing ability of Ferrán Silva.

Real Madrid are clear favorites on paper, but Las Palmas could pose a challenge if they manage an early breakthrough. However, with their attacking arsenal and home advantage, the hosts are expected to dominate.

Prediction: Real Madrid 3-0 Las Palmas.

Kickoff is set for 3:15 p.m. local time (10:15 a.m. ET). Fans in the U.S. can catch the live stream on ESPN+ and the ESPN App, though the match won’t be available for live TV broadcast.

With La Liga heating up, this fixture could be a pivotal moment for both teams as they navigate their respective campaigns.
