Granada vs Valencia Preview
Valencia will aim to secure all three points and continue their stride to achieve a place in European competition for next season when they face lowly Granada at the Los Carmenes this week.
Granada find themselves in deep waters ahead of this match as they are virtually relegated from the La Liga. Currently sitting in 19th place, the Nazaries are 14 points away from safety and that looks unachievable for them with eight games to go. They went winless last year and both of the two victories of the season came this year as their fate seems to have been decided for a long time now. Granada’s previous league outing ended in a narrow 1-0 loss at the hands of Cadiz, who they defeated earlier this year. Roberto Navarro’s 51st-minute strike stood the difference between the two sides as the visitors were inflicted with their 19th defeat of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Valencia have managed to snatch only one victory from their last five La Liga matches. Los Ches’ last match was a goalless draw with Mallorca as they failed to get back to winning ways after suffering a 1-0 loss to neighborhood rivals Villarreal. Ruben Baraja’s men were not at their best during the game as they lacked the clinical ability to pop in goals from half-chances in the final thirds of the pitch. Villarreal took the opportunity in the 54th minute as Jorge Cuenca’s lone goal was enough to dump their foes from across town.
