Cordoba — Las Palmas : Match Preview and Prediction for August 25,2025

Previous Season’s Performance

In the previous season, Cordoba’s performance hardly suggested a team capable of contending for promotion. They ultimately finished a disappointing fourteenth, and their home record was particularly weak, securing only eight victories throughout the entire season. These figures paint a picture of a squad lacking the necessary competitive edge.

Squad Changes and Recent Form

The club has undergone significant changes, notably the departure of Casas, their top scorer from last season, to Venezia. Sala’s move to Lecce also represents a considerable loss. While Cordoba brought in numerous free agents, the team failed to make any truly impactful transfers. This uncertainty was reflected in their pre-season, where they managed only one win across a series of friendly matches, and that solitary victory came against a team from the Moroccan championship, which is quite telling. Their opening league fixture saw them fall to defeat in Gijon. This result was somewhat surprising given that they played proactively, exerting significant pressure on their opponent, yet their efforts proved fruitless.

Relegation and Away Form

Last season, Las Palmas competed in La Liga’s top flight, but their relegation was entirely deserved, as the team’s season finale completely unraveled. They consistently encountered a multitude of problems, especially in their away fixtures, which ultimately contributed to their downfall.

Roster Changes and Initial Struggles

Following relegation, Las Palmas parted ways with Silva and McBurnie, among others. Significant squad overhauls are typical in such situations, and they acquired Cedeño, Recoba, and Gutierrez, alongside numerous free agents and loan players. There’s even talk of Jepe attempting a return to top-tier Spanish football with the club. Their opening match of the season resulted in a frustrating and somewhat foolish draw against Andorra. They held the lead for most of the match but conceded a late own goal and also received a red card towards the end of the encounter. It seems the team has already experienced a flurry of dramatic events early in the season.
