A five-game unbeaten run for VillarrealThe Yellow Submarine heads into this clash on the back of a five-game unbeaten run in the Spanish top-flight. A 3-1 win at Real Sociedad last time out ended a streak of three draws in La Liga.
The win in San Sebastian also ended a run of low scoring for the home side, as their previous three matches had all produced under 2.5 goals.
Marcelino’s team’s recent unbeaten form has moved them 11 points clear of La Liga’s relegation zone.
Villarreal are unbeaten in their last four home matches in the Spanish top-flight, although the previous three games have all ended in draws. Their recent home games in the league have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last three matches.
Granada is still searching for a victoryThe Andalusians are currently in 19th place in the Spanish top-flight table, seven points adrift of the safety of 17th place Celta Vigo.
Granada are winless in their previous six games in La Liga, although their last three games have all finished in all draws.
The fact that the visitors have kept just one clean sheet in their last 25 matches in La Liga has hindered their chances of a return to winning ways.
Another poor facet of their recent La Liga games has been their away record, as Granada are winless in their last 13 matches on their travels, having suffered 11 defeats in the run.
A lack of goals has been a big problem for the visitors on their travels in La Liga, as they have failed to score in six of their last eight games away from home.
What am I backing?Villarreal's recent form has improved, and I am backing the Yellow Submarine to record a second straight La Liga victory.
