Sevilla – Granada CF : Preview & Prediction
Sevilla, 4th, have just been overtaken in the standings by Barcelona and Atletico Madrid… The fault lies in a bad run of form over the last 4 games. Indeed, the Andalusian club took only 3 points out of 12 distributed at Alaves (0-0), at Rayo Vallecano (1-1) and at Real Sociedad (0-0). Ocampos’ team-mates narrowly missed out on a 1-0 win at Barcelona thanks to a 72nd-minute Pedri strike. Sevilla, who were eliminated from the Europa League last month, will be able to rely on their solidity at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, where they remain unbeaten after 14 league games (10 wins and four draws). Granada, who have lost three of their last three visits to Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, could be in for another disappointment. The current 16th-placed side are under pressure as 18th-placed Mallorca are only three points behind them. However, the last two games have been positive, with four points taken at Alaves (3-2) and at Rayo Vallecano (2-2) on 3 April. Prior to that win at Alaves, Granada had suffered four straight away defeats at Getafe (4-2), Madrid (1-0), Real Sociedad (2-0) and Valencia (3-1). Granada could fall back to their old ways in this Andalusian derby.
