Granada looking to arrest a poor runThe Andalusians will be looking to arrest a woeful recent run of form, which has seen them lose five of their last six outings in the Spanish top flight.
The poor spell of form has seen 19th-place Granada slip six points from safety in the battle for La Liga survival.
The home team have been goal-shy lately, as they have failed to score in five of their previous six matches in the Spanish top flight.
The fact that Granada has won just once in their last six home matches in La Liga has done little to help their cause in the relegation battle.
Their recent home games in the Spanish top flight have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games in La Liga.
Las Palmas looking to enhance top-six hopesThe Islander’s chances of moving into La Liga’s top six took a blow last time out, as they went down to a 1-0 defeat against Real Betis.
However, the visitors won't be too deterred by the result, as they had recorded back-to-back league wins against Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano before the loss.
Las Palmas are in ninth place in the Spanish top-flight table, five points adrift of the European spots in La Liga.
Garcia Pimienta’s team has been highly inconsistent on their travels in La Liga, winning two, losing two and drawing one of their previous five away games.
The visitor’s recent matches on their La Liga travels have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in the previous five games.
What am I backing?I expect this to be a relatively cagey, low-scoring affair, so the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
