The defending champions will play their final match before the upcoming international break on Sunday, as Barcelona search for a seventh win of the campaign. Granada will be the hosts as they chase just a second victory this term.
La Liga Preview
The teams that currently sit second and second bottom in the La Liga standings will lock horns in the Spanish top flight this weekend. It has been another reliable start to the season for Barcelona, as they currently sit second in the league standings, and they are just one point behind Real Madrid at this early stage of the campaign.
However, Barcelona come into this weekend as one of the in-form sides in the competition, as they have gone five without defeat in La Liga, winning on four occasions over that period. The Spanish champions have picked up 20 points from their opening eight matches this term. Interestingly, in three previous seasons when they have had the same number of points at this stage, they have only gone on to win the title on one occasion.
It has been a nightmare start to the season for Granada, and there will already be pressure on the side as they sit inside the bottom three places in the league standings. They have won just once in their opening eight matches, and they come into this daunting fixture after going five without a victory. However, they have at least avoided defeat in each of their previous two.
Granada could draw three matches in a row for the first time since April 2016 this weekend. They have been one of the sides that have seen the most goals scored in their fixtures this term, with a total of 34 being netted across their eight matches.
Granada vs Barcelona Head to Head
Confidence would be taken from the fact that Granada have picked up points from each of their last three matches against Barcelona. Their three-match unbeaten run against the reigning champions is their longest in La Liga history.
Granada vs Barcelona Prediction
Granada have enjoyed their recent matches against Barcelona, but it may be wise to overlook them this weekend. The visitors have won eight of their last eleven away matches against Granada, and it could be worthwhile to side with that trend being improved on Sunday.
