Football Bet of the Day: Las Palmas to chirp in Valencia

Valencia v Las Palmas
Monday 21:00 (Live on Sky Sports 1)

Kev's week finished on a downer as Mariehamn defied him and HIFK to take all three points from yesterday's Veikkausliiga game.

Our shift begins in Spain, where there's some Monday-night action for the first time this season. The second of La Liga's two matches pits Valencia at home to Las Palmas. Historically, these two have often been quite far apart, but nothing could separate them last term, as they both finished on 44 points.

Last season - Las Palmas' first back in the big Liga - brought a 1-1 draw in this fixture and a 2-1 win for the newcomers on home turf. And we fancy both teams to score again tonight.

Pako took charge of Valencia with just eight games of the previous campaign to go, and with mixed results. Thirteenth when he arrived, Los Che ended up just one place higher, as the new boss failed to plug a leaky defence. For Pako, it's one clean sheet in nine attempts at home and away; for his players, it's one in 28, going all the way back to October last year.

The visitors from Gran Canaria have scored on 11/15 trips to the mainland since Quique Setien took charge midway through last season and the price on both teams hitting the back of the net this evening is eminently fair.
