On Tuesday evening, Granada host Osasuna in La Liga, as the home side look to move closer to the league’s top-six and the visitors hope to move out of the relegation zone.
Granada are currently seventh place in the Spanish top-flight table, six points behind sixth-place Real Sociedad, who have played two more games than the home team.

A recent poor run of form has hampered their chances of breaking into the league's European spots, as a 4-0 home hammering by Barcelona last time out means that Granada have now lost three of their last four games in La Liga.
One of their main issues of late in the Spanish top-flight has been scoring goals, as the Andalusian’s have failed to score in three of their last four matches in La Liga.
Granada’s recent home record in La Liga has not helped their cause either, as they have won just two of their previous six home games in the Spanish top-flight. They have also conceded at least three goals in three of their last five home matches in La Liga.
Osasuna are unbeaten in four league matches heading into this clash, despite their lowly position of 19th place in the Spanish top-flight table. However, the problem for the home side is that all four of their unbeaten games have finished in draws.
The visitors have failed to win in 11 games in La Liga, but are still just two points from safety.
Osasuna’s recent league matches have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals in their last three league games. A goalless draw with Real Madrid last time out ended a run of ten league games without a clean sheet for the visitors in La Liga.
The visitors have a poor recent record on their travels in the league, as they have failed to win in seven away matches, although they have picked up draws in their previous two games away from home.
Forebet predicts that Granada will get their European challenge back on track by recording a victory in a high-scoring clash.
