Granada – Barcelona. Alexander Vishnevskiy’s prediction
It’s time for a season defining match for Barcelona, as victory in Granada would guarantee them the title. I was very amused that the Spanish media have been paying great attention to whether or not Granada will have tournament motivation. They said it’s important for Real Madrid that Granada didn’t secure their stay in the league before the Barcelona game.
But to me, Granada would have had tiny chances to oppose Barca even if they had motivation. Now that they are safe, having beaten Sevilla last weekend, there is nothing for the hosts to play for.
I suppose Real Madrid President Florentino Perez could try to motivate Granada financially, but additional bonus money won’t make stopping Messi, Suarez and Neymar etc any easier, particularly since they have everything to play for here.
The most probable outcome of the game is that Barcelona win with a two-three goals gap. The Catalans have won their last four matches with a total score of 21:0, Attacking at will and having little trouble defending. With this in mind and given their motivation here the chances of them winning to nil again are quite high.
Luis Suarez is fighting for the Golden Foot with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and I think that his Barcelona teammates will do their best to try an ensure that the Uruguayan wins the trophy. We know Suarez will be an ever present threat from open play, but also, if Barcelona get a penalty it will likely be Suarez who takes. With this in mind, another bet worth placing is Suarez to score 2 or more goals, which is available at 2.6 with William Hill.
