On Thursday night, Granada and Valencia clash at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes as the visitors look to boost their European hopes in La Liga.
Granada doomed to the SegundaThe Andalusians look to be doomed to life in the Segunda after a woeful campaign in the Spanish top flight. They are currently in 19th place in La Liga, 14 points away from the safety of 17th in the standings.
A 1-0 defeat at Cadiz last time out means the home team has suffered four straight La Liga defeats. Granada has also failed to win in ten games in La Liga, having picked up three draws and suffered seven defeats in the poor run of form.
Granada has won just one of their last 12 home games in the Spanish top flight, having failed to win any of the previous four Liga matches on home soil. Their recent home games in La Liga have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings.
Valencia’s inconsistent form is harming their European hopesLos Che have won just one of their last six games in the Spanish top-flight, although three of their previous five Liga games have produced draws.
A 0-0 home draw against Real Mallorca last time out continued a run of low-scoring games for the visitors, as five of their last six matches in La Liga have produced under 2.5 goals.
Valencia’s recent mixed form has seen them fall eight points adrift of the European spots, with a game in hand on sixth place Real Sociedad.
Ruben Baraja’s team has been poor on their travels in La Liga. They have suffered three consecutive defeats away from home in the Spanish top flight, failing to score in all three losses.
What am I backing?I believe this will be a really tight and low-scoring encounter, so with that in mind, the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
