Granada vs Villarreal predictions for this La Liga clash on Saturday at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes. The seventh and eighth teams will meet with three valuable points at stake that both need to move closer to sixth place. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Granada
It has been an incredible season for Granada, who are once again aiming to qualify for the Europa League while remaining alive in that competition and will have to face Manchester United.
Despite their healthy position, it is strange that the eighth team in the league is the team that has conceded the most goals so far, something that Diego Martinez needs to improve upon.
Granada is currently the fifth-best home team in the league.
Villarreal
Once again this season, Villarreal is fighting for the European zone. They are currently two points behind Betis, who are sixth.
Villarreal is also still alive in the Europa League, where they will face Dinamo Zagreb in the next round.
Villarreal is the sixth-best away team up to now in La Liga.
Key Stats
Granada vs Villarreal
We think that this match will end in a draw because although Villarreal is theoretically better, Granada is a tough team at home, and Villarreal in their last away games has not been outstanding either, so it is possible that the strengths of both teams will be equal.
As fast as goals go, we think that Granada will be quite defensive and Villarreal will have ball possession, but there will not be many chances to score.
