Espanyol
Espanyol are, so far, living up to expectations as they sit in eleventh position, six points clear of the relegation places.
As a home team, the Catalan side is the eighth best team, after three wins, two draws, and one defeat. They have conceded just four goals in those home games.
Granada
Granada got a valuable victory in their last match against close rival Levante, with whom they are in a fight to avoid relegation. It was also their first away win of the season.
As an away team, Granada have taken six points, compared to the five earnt at home so far. The Andalusian side have now gone two away games in a row without defeat, after a win and a draw.
Of seven historic meetings between the two teams, Granada have won only twice.
Espanyol have been on an upward trend for several games now, and playing at home they are always a very tough team and quite difficult to beat. Taking into account that they face Granada, a team that is not known for playing well as visitors, we think Espanyol have a good chance of winning this game.
