Prediction: 1-1
Granada
There will be fireworks when Ibiza and Granada take on each other at Estadi Municipal de Can Misses in the La Liga 2 derby. Ibiza played an important role in Segunda Division last term, but they eventually missed out on a spot in the playoffs. Los Celestes are tough to beat at home, but they face a difficult task against Granada, who are seen as one of the main candidates for promotion. It has to be noted that the club chiefs have signed the likes of Ivan Morante, Daniel Fuzato, Suleiman Camara, and Armando Shashoua in the summer transfer window.
Los Granadinos, on the other hand, were more than unfortunate not to secure the La Liga survival last term, with towering striker Jorge Molina failing to convert a penalty in the decider against Espanyol. Since the Andalusians often struggle on the travels, we are tempted to put our money on draw. The likes of Luis Suarez, Luis Maximiano, Luis Milla, and Darwin Machis are no longer parts of Granada.
Highlighted Player (Maxime Gonalons):
The 27-year-old France international defensive midfielder Maxime Gonalons has been with Lyon since the tender age of 10, climbing through the club’s rank all the way to the first-team regular and club captain. Gonalons made his competitive debut for Lyon in 2009 against Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League playoof round when he came on for Jeremy Toulalan.
During the seven seasons with Lyon’s first-team, Maxime Gonalons established himself as the mainstay completing the total of 212 Ligue 1 appearances. Reliable midfielder has been a major impact in Lyon’s Champions League challenges as well, taking part in all of his club’s five appearances in Europe’s elite competition last year.
Playing in the holding role at Lyon, Maxime Gonalons’ influence is pivotal as the French international adds much needed steel to the midfield allowing his more creative teammates the freedom and carelessness upfront. His locker room impact is equally crucial as the 27-year-old midfielder is an imposing figure both on and off the pitch.
Highlighted Team (Granada):
Granada are an Andalusian football club that plays in Spanish La Liga. The club were founded on 14 April, 1931 and they have yet to win the Primera Division trophy. El Grana, though, booked their place in the Spanish Cup final in 1959, but Barcelona proved to be a big catch for the Andalusian outfit.
Granada host their rivals at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes, the stadium that was built in 1995. The capacity of the stadium is 23,934. Granada’s main rivals are fellow Andalusian team Sevilla, but Real Betis are regarded as the club’s bitter rivals as well.
The likes of Yacine Brahimi, Juan Aguero, Gustavo Benitez, Pahinho, Denis Milar, Julio Montero Castillo, Capi, Cesar and Jose Mingorance are famous players that were part of the Estadio El Sadar outfit in the past. The original colour of Granada’s kits were blue and white, but after the Spanish Civil War the club chiefs bought new ones (red and white).
