UD Las Palmas faces Girona this Saturday, August 29th, at Montilivi aiming for a third consecutive victory in LaLiga Hypermotion. The match, corresponding to the third matchday, is scheduled for 8:30 PM Canary Islands time (9:30 PM mainland) and will be broadcast on LaLiga Hypermotion TV via DAZN and Movistar+, as reported by www.laprovincia.es.
The Yellows arrive at the fixture after a perfect start to the season, with six points from six possible placing them seventh in the standings, just one point behind leaders Granada CF. Their current record is two wins and one loss, with six goals scored and six conceded. This clash represents a chance to regain momentum after their latest result and prepare for the next fixture against Cadiz on September 13th.
How is UD Las Palmas approaching the match?
The squad led by head coach Rubén de la Barrera has shown solidity in its first two outings. They began the campaign with a 2-1 win over Albacete at the Estadio de Gran Canaria, with goals from Taisei Miyashiro and Manu Fuster. They repeated the success in their second match, beating Ceuta 0-2 away. These initial victories placed the club as joint leaders early in the season, a position they aim to reclaim.
Manager Rubén de la Barrera stated: "La UD Las Palmas afrontará este sábado en Montilivi su tercer compromiso de la temporada con el objetivo de mantener su pleno de victorias." The dressing room's mentality is clearly offensive, seeking points from the first minute. Fans can follow the team's detailed progress on our stats page.
What is the situation of the opponent, Girona?
The Catalan side returns to the Segunda División two years after finishing third in La Liga. However, their start to this LaLiga Hypermotion edition has been difficult. After two matchdays, they have only one point, from a draw against Leganés and a 2-1 loss to Córdoba. This run places them 17th in the table.
The most recent precedent between the two teams dates back to February 3, 2025, also at Montilivi, where Girona won 2-1. The current context, however, is very different for both clubs. The up-to-date league table is available in our standings section.
