Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Friday’s football game between Eldense and Granada will raise the curtain on the La Liga round 25. Los Azulgranas aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Tenerife, but they will have a big fish to fry against los Granadinos. Bearing any fresh injury worries, head coach Jose Luis Oltra is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated los Insulares at the weekend. Meanwhile, the Andalusians proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Sporting Gijon.
Granada, though, are not regarded as good travellers and given their four-game winless run on the road, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Friday’s encounter. January signing Stoichkov is pushing for his full Granada debut, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team. Granada boss Fran Escriba is likely to stick to the 4-4-2 formation that proved fruitful against Gijon.
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).
