The action in La Liga continues on Thursday with an important clash featuring clubs at opposite ends of the standings. Valencia will be chasing maximum points to move into the European spots, while Granada will need a win to keep alive their slim hopes of survival.
La Liga Preview
The pressure will be on the home team this week in La Liga, as Granada continue to fight for their position in the top-flight in Spain. They come into this round sitting 19th in the current standings after winning just two of their 29 matches this season. However, any chance of survival looks incredibly slim at this stage, as they sit 14 points from safety with the weeks this term beginning to run out.
Their recent form in the competition would also be a major concern, as Granada have suffered defeats in each of their last four matches. Granada’s attacking players have been below the standard required in their last two matches, as the Spanish side have failed to score and have suffered back-to-back 1-0 defeats against Cadiz and Mallorca.
Valencia will have their sights set on a European finish at this stage of the season. They come into this game in hand sitting eighth in the table, and they could move up to seventh if they are able to record an away victory on Thursday. But, their recent form in the competition would be a concern, as they have gone two without a victory, and have landed just one win in their last five.
Valencia will also need more from their attacking players this week after failing to score in their last two matches. Their most recent dropped points came in the form of a 0-0 draw against Mallorca at the Mestalla on Saturday.
Granada vs Valencia Head to Head
Granada have a really poor recent record against Valencia after winning in just one of their last 20 clashes. Over that period, the visitors have recorded 15 victories. However, in home matches, Granada have gone three without defeat against Valencia, with two matches over that period ending in draws.
Granada vs Valencia Prediction
Valencia’s recent form remains a slight concern ahead of this fixture on Thursday. However, Granada have found victories very hard to achieve in La Liga this term, meaning that the preference remains for the travelling team in Spain on Thursday.
