While there's a significant difference in historical pedigree between Villarreal and Las Palmas, just goal difference separated them in the La Liga standings after eight rounds of play. Villarreal had been struggling domestically, and their situation was further complicated by midweek European competition. However, a narrow 1-0 Europa League win against Rennes, albeit with some fortune as Rennes striker Martin Terrier missed a penalty and a close-range follow-up effort, could be the catalyst for Villarreal's La Liga campaign.

Their domestic record, with just one win as favorites this season (1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses), has been below expectations. Nonetheless, head coach Pacheta sees signs of improvement. He was particularly pleased with Villarreal's ability to control the tempo against Rennes and highlighted the importance of consecutive clean sheets, especially considering they had conceded in seven of their previous eight matches in all competitions.

Las Palmas, on the other hand, is the only team in the league yet to earn a single point on the road (4 losses). However, a poor away record doesn't necessarily spell disaster, as evidenced by Almería's league-low eight points on their travels last season. To stay competitive, Las Palmas must make their home ground a fortress. Back-to-back home wins against Granada (1-0) and Celta Vigo (2-1) have kept them out of the relegation zone, but the next challenge is to find the back of the net away from home, something they haven't done in their last five attempts.

Manager arcía Pimienta believes his team could have played a more competitive game in their recent 2-0 loss to Real Madrid, suggesting they may have more to offer on the road. Notably, that loss was their first by a multiple-goal margin on the road despite failing to score, which is impressive considering three of those away matches were against teams in the top half of the table. This indicates that Las Palmas may not be far from achieving better results in their away fixtures.

Key players to watch include Villarreal's Alexander Sørloth, who has been a quick scorer with four of his five goals coming before halftime this season. For Las Palmas, Jonathan Viera is a player to watch, having scored his second goal of the La Liga season and serving as the club's chief penalty taker in the last round.

虽然比利亚雷亚尔和拉斯帕尔马斯在历史上有很大的不同，但在8轮比赛后，他们在西甲的积分榜上只有净胜球的差距。比利亚雷亚尔一直在国内苦苦挣扎，而周中的欧洲联赛使他们的处境更加复杂。然而，在欧联杯1-0险胜雷恩的比赛中，尽管雷恩前锋马丁·特里耶错失了一个点球和一个近距离的进球，但比利亚雷亚尔可能会成为西甲之旅的催化剂。

他们的国内战绩低于预期，本赛季只有一场胜利(1胜1平3负)。尽管如此，主教练帕切塔还是看到了进步的迹象。他对比利亚雷亚尔在对阵雷恩的比赛中控制节奏的能力特别满意，并强调了连续零封的重要性，特别是考虑到比利亚雷亚尔在之前的8场比赛中有7场失球。

另一方面，拉斯帕尔马斯是联盟中唯一一支客场只拿到一分的球队(4场失利)。然而，糟糕的客场战绩并不一定意味着灾难，Almería上赛季客场只得到联赛最低的8分就证明了这一点。为了保持竞争力，拉斯帕尔马斯必须让他们的主场成为堡垒。主场接连战胜格拉纳达(1-0)和维戈塞尔塔(2-1)使他们远离降级区，但下一个挑战是在客场找到球门，这是他们在过去五次尝试中没有做到的。

主教练arcía皮门塔相信他的球队在最近0 - 2输给皇家马德里的比赛中可以踢得更有竞争力，这表明他们在客场可能会有更多的表现。值得注意的是，这是他们第一次在客场输掉多球，尽管他们没有进球，考虑到其中三场客场比赛是对阵积分榜上半区的球队，这一点令人印象深刻。这表明拉斯帕尔马斯在客场取得更好的成绩已经不远了。

值得关注的关键球员包括比利亚雷亚尔的亚历山大·罗罗斯，他是一个快速进球的球员，本赛季他的5个进球中有4个是在中场休息前打进的。对于拉斯帕尔马斯来说，乔纳森·维埃拉是一个值得关注的球员，他打进了西甲赛季的第二个进球，并在最后一轮担任俱乐部的主罚点球。

我相信这将是黄色潜水艇在公园散步，他们将轻松击败来自加那利群岛的球队!
