Granada CF – Ath Bilbao : Preview & Prediction
Granada pulled off the biggest upset of the 35th round when they travelled to Mallorca. Indeed, the Andalusian club crushed the insular formation on the road with a score of 6 goals to 2! As a result, Granada left their opponents in 18th place and are now 2 points clear of the red zone. This is the 3rd game in a row without defeat for Gonalons’ partners who had drawn at Atletico Madrid (0-0) and against Celta Vigo (1-1). The team’s survival hopes are still precarious as there are still nine points to be taken before the end of the season. Granada, winners of the last three Bilbao games, can legitimately beat a Basque team that has been disappointing on the road in recent weeks. The current 8th in La Liga, in the race for Europe (1 point behind 7th place), has just taken 4 points away from San Mamés after 4 straight defeats before. The Basques have recently taken points at Villareal (1-1) and Cadiz CF (3-2). Bilbao, who lost two points at home to Valencia (0-0) on 7 May, have everything to fear from this trip to Andalusia for the 36th round.
Granada have won the last 3 Bilbao receptions: 2-1, 4-0 and 2-0.
Athletic Bilbao have won just 1 of their last 6 away games, including La Liga and Copa del Rey.
Granada are unbeaten in their last 3 games (1 win and 2 draws).
The Andalusian club were impressive on the final day, crushing Mallorca 6-2 on their island.
Granada are out of the relegation zone but not yet safe…No defeat for the Basques.
Although they left the relegation zone at the weekend, the Andalusian club could fall back into it if they do not perform well on Tuesday. Granada must avoid defeat at all costs against a Bilbao side with disappointing away results.
