Bookmaker Ratings prediction three – Handicap Valencia -1 goal – 3.20
We see Valencia as favourites for this match, but more than for their own merits it is because of Granada’s poor form, a team that has gone eight games without a win, with five defeats and three draws. In addition, Valencia are playing at home, which gives them an added bonus of favouritism.
Both teams are having serious defensive problems this season, with players like Diakhaby in Valencia or Domingos Duarte and Germán of Granada, all of them at a very low level. For this reason, we think it could be a match marked more by defensive lapses from both sides than by good offensive play. That is why we think that the match could have many dangerous chances and goals.
Four of Granada’s last five defeats have been by a difference of at least two goals, as they are a team that when they are losing takes a very offensive style but at the same time they become very weak defensively. That is why we think that Valencia can win by a good goal difference and therefore we think it is a good Handicap to deduct a goal from them and they still could win this game.
After seven consecutive games without a win, with two draws and five defeats, Valencia returned to winning ways in La Liga Santander after more than two months. As a result, they are currently in ninth place.
Having conceded ten goals in their previous five games, Valencia again kept a clean sheet without conceding a goal against Mallorca the previous matchday. They have not conceded a goal in seven of 26 matches this season.
Of Valencia’s 38 goals scored so far, only 11 of them have come in the first 40 minutes of the game, making them a much more attacking team in the second half.
On Granada’s side, their form is not good at all, with three draws and five defeats in their last eight games, having scored just four goals and conceded 14 goals. Defensive errors are costing them a lot of points this season, and offensively they are not at their best either.
With only one goal scored in the last five games, Granada are, along with Rayo Vallecano, the worst team in terms of goals scored.
Valencia go into the game with Ilaix Moriba and Omar Alderete suspended and Thierry Correa and Jasper Cillessen injured.

Highlighted Player
Gonzalo Guedes
The Portuguese striker is undoubtedly Valencia’s main attacking source of inspiration this season. He is a player with great physical ability and very fast, which makes him a very difficult player for opponents to defend, and he also has a very good shot from long distances.
