Friday night marks the start of the second round of matches in the Spanish top flight and our next preview features a clash between Granada and Sevilla as the betting tips continue in La Liga at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes.
Granada Prediction – Can Granada continue entertainment?
It was an eventful return to the Spanish top flight for Granada in last week’s season opener against Villarreal as they were involved in an 8-goal thriller at the Estadio de la Cerámica where they gained a point in a 4-4 draw.
That result would have felt more like a win for newly promoted Granada as they trailed their hosts 4-2 with just 15 minutes remaining but they struck twice to gain a valuable point. This will no doubt give them confidence as they prepare for the visit of Sevilla in this Friday night clash.
Overall results for Granada are certainly very encouraging as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 15 matches in all competitions, which includes a 2-1 pre-season win against tonight’s opponents, Sevilla, although this evening may well turn out to be a vey different encounter.
9 of Granada’s last 15 matches overall have resulted in both teams scoring, and if last week’s performance and result are anything to go by, we could see further goals in this clash against Sevilla.
Sevilla Prediction – Can Sevilla record early back-to-back wins?
Last season’s 6th placed finishers in La Liga started their new Spanish top flight campaign on a winning note as they secured all three points with a solid 2-0 win away from home at Espanyol, and they’ll hit the road for tonight’s encounter with Granada also in confident mood.
Sevilla have won 8 of their last 13 matches in La Liga, which includes wins last season on the road at Espanyol and Real Valladolid although the visitors will probably need to improve upon their consistency on their travels this time around if they’re to be considered serious challengers for a top four finish.
Their away record in La Liga ended up a disappointing looking 5-5-9 23/27 and indeed, Sevilla possessed the worst away record oiut of all the teams that finished in the top six of La Liga at the end of last season.
Sevilla have also struggled in recent times when travelling to the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes as they’ve lost 3 of their last 4 visits to Granada, so tonight’s outcome could be very interesting.
Key-Facts – Granada v Sevilla
- Granada are unbeaten in their last 15 matches in all competitions
- Sevilla have lost 3 of their last 4 visits to Granada
- 4 of the last encounters between Granada and Sevilla have seen both teams score
Betting Tips Verdict
Granada have held the upper hand over Sevilla in previous meetings, but Sevilla will also be confident after last week’s win – both teams could notch here as a result.
