  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 15' UD Las Palmas is showing some good football. However, UD Las Palmas are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Valencia CF and UD Las Palmas are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 22' A change in the UD Las Palmas ranks — Daley Sinkgraven exits the field as Marc Cardona enters on 22.
  • 23' The UD Las Palmas bench stirs into life. Daley Sinkgraven is withdrawn and Sergi Cardona gets his opportunity.
  • 28' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 33' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 38' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alvaro Valles Rosa made 118 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 43' Valencia CF are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 46' The UD Las Palmas manager makes a substitution. Alvaro Lemos departs to be replaced by Julian Araujo.
  • 51' The 25-year-old Cenk Ozkacar has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

  • 64' Time for substitution for UD Las Palmas. Munir El Haddadi is replaced by Pejino.
  • 69' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
