Los Blancos have a number of key players coming back from injury and that should help them score at least four times at home against one of La Liga's weakest sides
Las Palmas' first trip to the Bernabeu in over 13 years comes at a difficult time for the Canary Islanders. There is never a good time to play Real Madrid away, but Las Palmas head to the capital in the relegation zone with just one win from their nine La Liga games having sacked manager Paco Hererra, the man who earned them promotion.
In his place Quique Setian has been appointed, a manager with barely any experience at this level, and his first away game could not be tougher. Madrid begin this round of fixtures top of the table, having yet to taste defeat and as the league's top scorers will fancy their chances of adding to their tally against Las Palmas.
William Hill price a home win at 1/10 (1.20) while a victory for the visitors is offered at 20/1 (21.00) and the draw is available at 8/1 (9.00).
The last time the side from Gran Canaria played a game in the Bernabeu they lost 7-0, and a repeat can be backed at 40/1 (41.00). While it is a long shot, it is not beyond the realms of possibility, especially given that Los Blancos have had the week to prepare and recover some of their injured players. James Rodriguez, Karim Benzema and Pepe could all be in contention to feature against the lowly visitors whose away record is poor.
Not only have Las Palmas claimed just a point from their four away games in the Primera so far, but in the second division last year they were poor on the road. Indeed, Saturday's visitors won just two of their last 13 away matches in the Segunda Division and there is every chance they will be on the receiving end of another hefty defeat.
Madrid to score over 3.5 goals is offered at 23/20 (2.15) and in a one-sided market it seems like a decent option. While Los Blancos have on occasion struggled to break down sides, they should have little problem in overcoming an uninspiring opponent.
