Villarreal seeking back-to-back victories as Las Palmas visits.

After the win over Espanyol, the Yellow Submarine take on La Liga's bottom-side, Las Palmas, hoping to win successive matches for the second time this season. Villarreal vs. Las Palmas kicks off at 20:00 [GMT+1] on Monday, September 30, at Estadio de la Cerámica.

Villarreal bounced back from a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Barcelona with a comeback 2-1 victory over Espanyol away from home. The Yellow Submarine went behind when Jofre Carreras [45'+1] scored for Espanyol in stoppage time, but they went into the break level as Ayoze Pérez [45'+6] found the net before the Spaniard completed his brace just after the hour mark [63’]. Manager Marcelino believed “it was a very well-deserved victory.” Villarreal are 5th on the La Liga table with 14 points after seven matches [4W, 2D, & 1L], level on points with 4th-placed Mallorca, who are ahead due to a superior goal difference. They have won three of their last five matches [WDWLW] but have failed to win consecutive matches since beating Sevilla and Celta Vigo on Match Days 2 and 3. Next in line for the Yellow Submarine is a home game against Las Palmas, a side they have beaten just three times in their last nine LL meetings [3W, 1D, & 5L] despite winning their first three top-flight meetings against them. However, playing on Monday has brought good fortune for the hosts, having won six of their last 10 such games [6W, 2D, & 2L]. A 4—4—2 with Pérez and Thierno Barry in attack is expected for Monday's clash.

Las Palmas are the only La Liga team without a win so far [0W, 3D, & 4L]. The visitors have three points from seven matches, which leaves them rooted to the bottom of the table. Luis Carrión's side put an end to a three-match losing streak [DLLLD] with a 1-1 draw at home to Real Betis last time out, but the manager still rallied for more after the game. "We all have room for improvement and can do better," he said in his post-match interview. Las Palmas have beaten Villarreal in their last two league meetings and could pick up three wins in a row over the hosts. "A victory will help us feel better,” Carrión said in his pre-match press conference. Los Amarillos have also won two of their last four away games against the Yellow Submarine [2W, 0D, & 2L] after failing to win any of their first seven visits [0W, 3D, & 4L]. A 4—1—3—2 with Fábio Silva and Alberto Moleiro in attack is expected against Villarreal.
