Valencia – Granada CF : Preview & Prediction
FC Valencia have never lost to Granada at their Mestalla stadium in their history (9 wins and 1 draw). This new head-to-head should turn in favor of the Valencian club, which has won the last 3 home encounters in November 2019 (2-0), March 2021 (2-1) and March 2022 (3-1). The current 9th-placed team in La Liga is just 3 points off a European place (6th), and victory becomes imperative against bottom-placed Granada. Ruben Baraja’s charges are unbeaten in their last 4 matches, 3 in La Liga at Mallorca (1-1), Cadiz CF (2-0) and Bilbao (2-2), and 1 in the Copa del Rey on Thursday at UD Logrones (0-2). Granada also won this round of the Spanish Cup at Arosa SC (0-3) on November 2, returning to winning ways after an 8-match drought (3 draws and 5 defeats). The current 19th-placed team in La Liga are just 3 points behind first-placed Alaves, but mustn’t let the situation get any worse. However, Uzuni’s team-mates (4 goals) are still reeling from 2 defeats in the Spanish league, to Osasuna (2-0) and Villarreal (2-3) on the last matchday. With just 1 point from 5 away games, Granada’s away record is catastrophic and could become even worse after the trip to Valencia.
Valencia are 9th overall.
Granada are relegated to 19th place.
Granada have the 2nd worst defence in the league behind Almeria, with 28 goals conceded.
The Andalusian club has not won in the league for 8 rounds (3 draws and 5 defeats).
FC Valencia are unbeaten in their last 4 matches (2 wins and 2 draws), including La Liga and the King’s Cup.
Granada have never won at the Mestalla in their history: 1 draw and 9 defeats in 10 visits.
