On Sunday afternoon, Granada and Alaves face off at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes as the home team looks to pick up a win to aid their improbable La Liga survival bid.
Granada looking doomed to life in the SegundaThe Andalusians head into this clash on the back of an 11-game winless run in La Liga, having picked up three draws and suffered eight defeats.
The poor recent run of form has left the home team in 19th place in the table, 14 points adrift of safety with just eight games remaining.
A 1-0 home defeat by Valencia last time out saw Granada fail to score in their previous three matches in the Spanish top flight.
Granada have won just one of their last 13 home games in La Liga. The poor recent form includes a five-game winless run on home soil in the Spanish top flight.
Their recent home games in La Liga have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of the last six games.
Alaves looking to end a poor run of formThe visitors are currently in 13th place in La Liga, seven points clear of the relegation zone after a poor run of form.
Luis Garcia’s team has won just one of their last eight games in the Spanish top flight. They have also suffered back-to-back Liga defeats against Athletic Club and Real Sociedad without scoring in either game.
Their recent La Liga games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in the last seven outings.
Alaves have failed to win in their last three away games in the Spanish top-flight, having suffered two straight defeats on their travels. They have also failed to score in their previous three games on the road.
What am I backing?Both teams head into this game low on confidence. It could be a fairly even, low-scoring encounter, so the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals.
