The La Liga match between Las Palmas and Mallorca will take place at Gran Canaria on Saturday at 11:00 pm IST.
Las Palmas is set to make their return to La Liga as they kick off their season with a home match against Mallorca on Saturday evening. After securing the second position in the Segunda Division last season, La Union Deportiva earned their promotion to the top flight. On the other hand, Mallorca had a successful 2022-23 La Liga season, finishing in ninth place.
Las Palmas returns to La Liga after spending the last five seasons in the English second-tier league since their 2015-2018 stint in La Liga. A strong performance in the 2022-23 Segunda Division secured their promotion, finishing second with 72 points in 42 matches. Manager Garcia Pimienta has been active in the transfer market, acquiring players like Sandro Ramirez, Munir El Haddadi, Daley Sinkgraven, and Julian Araujo on loan from Barcelona. With several departures, the team has a refreshed lineup. Their primary goal is to maintain their position in La Liga. Having played six friendly matches this summer, Las Palmas won twice and comes into this fixture following a 3-0 loss to RB Leipzig in a recent friendly.
Mallorca performed well in the 2022-23 La Liga season, securing a ninth-place finish. They are now gearing up for their third consecutive season at this level. The team remained unbeaten in their pre-season matches, including draws against Sunderland and Spezia, indicating their good form. Manager Javier Aguirre oversaw the arrival of five new players this summer: Cyle Larin, Siebe van der Heyden, Manu Morlanes, Omar Mascarell, and Toni Lato. Notably, Lee Kang-in left for Paris Saint-Germain. With Larin and Vedat Muriqi, Mallorca possesses two potential double-digit goal-scorers for the upcoming season, aiming for another strong finish in the top half of the table.
Las Palmas probable starting lineup: Escandell, Araujo, Lemos, Coco, Sinkgraven, Pejino, Loiodice, Viera, Ramirez, El Haddadi, Cardona
Mallorca probable starting lineup: Rajkovic, Maffeo, Van der Heyden, Raillo, Copete, Lato, D Rodriguez, Morlanes, Mascarell, Larin, Muriqi
