Las Palmas take on Real Valladolid in a La Liga 2 game set to take place on Sunday at Gran Canaria Stadium.
Las Palmas displayed brilliant form in the friendlies, registering seven wins in eight games. Their solitary loss was against La Liga heavyweights Sevilla, and manager Pepe Mel will be hoping his side can emulate similar form in their league campaign.
Meanwhile, the majority of Real Valladolid's club friendlies were canceled, and the team goes into the new season with a lack of match practice. They managed to play three pre-season friendlies and won two of them by comfortable margins, drawing one. Their last game was against SD Amorebieta, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
