26/10/23 4533

The final fixture of the weekend in La Liga takes place on Monday 30th of October as Granada meet Villarreal.

The match will be played at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes and the hosts begin this round of games in 19th place on 6 points while the visitors are in 14th place on 9 points.

Granada come into the match having lost 2-0 at Osasuna in La Liga last weekend.

It took just 11 minutes for Osasuna to open the scoring and they added a second from the penalty spot in the 59th minute.

Any hope of getting back into the match soon evaporated for Granada as they had a player sent off in the 76th minute.

The defeat at Osasuna means Granada have failed to win any of their last 7 games, all of which have been played in La Liga.

They have been defeats at Real Sociedad and Las Palmas plus a 4-2 home loss against Girona.

Granada have picked up 3 points thanks to draws with Real Betis and Barcelona at home plus Almeria away.

Trends show Granada have recorded just a single victory from their last 6 home La Liga fixtures.

However, they have not been easy to beat at home and Granada are undefeated in 7 of their last 10 La Liga matches on home soil. Both teams have scored in each of their last 4 home games.

Villarreal make the trip to the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with Alaves in La Liga last weekend.

With the score 0-0 at half time, it was Alaves who opened the scoring early in the second period but Villarreal scored the equaliser in the 65th minute from the penalty spot.

The draw at home with Alaves means Villarreal have recorded only 1 win from their 7 most recent matches in all competitions and the victory came in the Europa League.

In terms of La Liga, Villarreal have failed to win any of their last 5 games. There have been defeats against Girona and Las Palmas at home plus draws with Rayo Vallecano and Getafe away.

Trends show Villarreal have recorded only 1 win from their 5 most recent away La Liga fixtures.

However, Villarreal have not been beaten by Granada in all their last 12 games in all competitions.

Team news: Granada are without the suspended duo of Gerard Gumbau and Lucas Boye. Famara Diedhiou, Jesus Vallejo, Miguel Rubio, and Raul Fernandez are all doubtful due to injury.

Villarreal are without injured forward Yeremi Pino. They also have doubts over the fitness of Dani Tasende, Denis Suarez, and Francis Coquelin.

Neither Granada or Villarreal are in good form and that makes it difficult to split them. We expect to see under 2.5 goals scored in a closely fought contest and it would not come as a surprise to see this one end level.
