The pressure will be building on Granada coming into this round of matches in La Liga. The Spanish side remain locked in the bottom three positions in the standings, and this is a vitally important fixture in the context of their campaign against Villarreal.
La Liga Preview
It has been a poor campaign to this point for Granada, and the pressure is beginning to tell on the players and coaching staff. The Spanish side comes into this round of matches sitting second bottom in the standings after 25 rounds of matches, having picked up maximum points on just two occasions. Meanwhile, they have failed to win in their last five matches.
Villarreal are beginning to look up in the standings, and they could be primed to make a late charge for a European spot in the league. They come into this weekend after winning two of their last five matches, and a victory on Sunday could see them move up to 12th in the table. Meanwhile, they are unbeaten across their last six matches.
Villarreal’s six-game unbeaten run is an excellent return to form in the league after losing four of their five matches before this period. However, they will be looking to match their best unbeaten sequence in the competition since October 2021 by going seven without a loss on Sunday.
Granada are now winless in their last six matches in the league, with each of the last three ending in draws. However, they haven’t drawn four successive matches in the competition since April 2016. But, their record in the Valencia region is very poor after losing on their last two visits to the area. That comes after losing just once in their previous eight visits before this sequence.
Villarreal vs Granada Head to Head
Villarreal have avoided defeat in their last 13 matches against Granada, with eight matches over that period ending in victories. Meanwhile, five draws have also been played out. In home matches, Villarreal have avoided defeat in their last eight, winning on five occasions.
Villarreal vs Granada Prediction
Granada’s recent poor run of form makes them very challenging to back this weekend. Therefore, it could be worthwhile siding with the home team to land maximum points to enhance their excellent record in home matches against Granada in the Spanish top flight.
