On Thursday night, Granada host Eibar at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes in a clash that could be vital for the La Liga survival hopes of the visitors.
Granada are enjoying another solid campaign in La Liga and a win here would give Diego Martinez’s team an outside chance of clinching a European spot for next season. In fact, a victory would move the Nazaries to within six points of the league’s top six.

A recent inconsistent run of league form has hampered the Andalusians hopes of securing continental football for a second straight season. A 2-1 win at Real Valladolid last time out means that the home team have won three and lost three of their last six outings in La Liga.
Granada’s home form in the Spanish top-flight has also been mixed of late, as they have won just two of their last five league games on home soil.
Their recent home games in La Liga have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches.
Eibar will be desperate for a victory in the fight for survival. Jose Mendilibar’s team are currently bottom of the table, four points adrift of the safety of 17th place.
A poor recent run of form seems to have doomed the visitors to life in the Segunda next season. In fact, they have failed to win in 14 games in La Liga, losing five of their last six matches in the Spanish top-flight.
The poor run has left them six adrift of safety at the bottom of the table.
Mendilibar’s team have struggled for goals in the Spanish top-flight this season, as no team has scored fewer goals than Eibar’s tally of 22 this season in La Liga.
The visitors have also struggled for wins on their travels, having failed to win in 11 away games in the Spanish top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Granada will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to possibly deal a fatal blow to Eibar’s survival hopes.
