The situation of Unión Deportiva Las Palmas is, to say the least, concerning at the beginning of the season. With a dismal record after eight rounds of competition, the club is going through a critical phase that places it in the history of the worst starts in Primera División.
A disastrous record after eight matches
Unión Deportiva Las Palmas has recorded its worst start to a season in Primera División, accumulating only three points after the first eight matches. This alarming result is the result of no wins, an unprecedented fact in the club’s 75-year history. The current performances raise questions about the solidity of the sports project.
To put this situation into perspective, the previous lowest record was five points, set during the 2015-2016 and 1951-1952 seasons. This highlights the extent of the difficulties faced by the current team, managed by Luis Carrión.
Historical comparison with other seasons
In 1951, during their first season in the top flight, Unión Deportiva managed only one win and two draws. The context was quite similar, but the team, then managed by Luis Valle, still recorded a success against Atlético Tetuán (4-1), an achievement that has not been replicated today.
During the 2015-2016 season, the club managed to secure one win (2-0 against Sevilla) and two draws. Nevertheless, this record did not prevent them from needing to change coaches after the eighth matchday, highlighting a tense atmosphere within the team.
Concerning statistics
The statistics for this season are particularly worrying. Here is a summary table of the results after eight matches:
- 2024-2025: 3 points, 0 wins, 3 draws (-7)
- 2015-2016: 5 points, 1 win, 2 draws (-7)
- 1951-1952: 5 points, 1 win, 2 draws (-12)
For the first time, Unión Deportiva has not even managed to lift off with a win at the end of this eighth matchday. However, there were precedents to note during the 1970-1971 and 1980-1981 seasons, where the team tipped the balance in their favor by defeating Real Sociedad and Zaragoza, respectively.
The current situation calls for deep reflection on the trajectory of the club and its ambitions. The coming weeks will be crucial in attempting to reverse this trend and get back on the winning path.
