Granada Preview – Can the Spanish side cause an upset?
Granada, who finished seventh last term – booking their spot in the second qualifying round of the Europa League in the process – are having another fine season in La Liga. Diego Martinez’s men will be hoping to finish even higher this term, as they are currently in eighth spot with 30 points to their name.
Granada impressed during the Europa League group stage, collecting 11 points to join PSV Eindhoven in the Round of 32 as Group E runners-up. Along the way, Nasrids beat PSV and Omonia Nicosia (twice).
Granada are usually solid on their own patch, but Martinez’s men head into this Europa League clash having picked up just one win from their last five league and cup home fixtures. Granada are the second favourites in this one at 23/10.
Napoli Preview – Gli Azzurri to get the win in Spain?
Napoli are one of the big hitters in the Europa League this season. Gennaro Gattuso’s men may be in patchy form in Serie A, but they are usually a formidable force in Europe. At the time of writing, you can get the club from Naples at 12/1 to win the tournament.
Napoli won a very competitive Europa League Group F. Gattuso’s men finished on 11 points after winning three, drawing two and losing one of six matches. They only scored seven times, but Gli Azzurri managed to fend off the likes of Real Sociedad and AZ Alkmaar to finish top of the group.
