Las Palmas concede 19 goals in 10 matches and eye relegation

Las Palmas has conceded 19 goals in the first 10 league matchdays, nearly half of what it allowed across last season, and is now looking over its shoulder at relegation: it sits just three points above the drop zone, according to MARCA.

The comparison with last campaign makes it even worse. In 42 games, Las Palmas conceded 40, and in the first half of the season it allowed only 13. This time, in only 10 matches, it has already surpassed that first-round figure and is close to its overall total.

Debut ends in defeat

The change of coach hasn’t stopped the slide. Juan Manuel Rodríguez’s first game ended in a 0-3 loss, with a back five as the tactical move aimed at better protecting their goal.

The setbacks of Amatucci, Mika Mármol and Barcia, plus Clemente’s injury, have left the squad hurting. But the defensive issues start earlier than the opponent’s attack: they struggle to win the ball, arrive late to challenges, and lose their structure without possession—so it’s not just a matter of playing more defenders, but of fixing the whole block.
