Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
There will be fireworks when Granada and Getafe face each other in the relegation six-pointer at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes. Los Granadinos did well to hold Osasuna to a draw at the weekend, with the team beating Sevilla thanks to Rochina’s goal in their last home fixture. Midfielder Gonalons, who limped off with injury against Osasuna, is unlikely to feature in the midweek clash, while Montoro is pushing for a start.
Los Azulones, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, and, as a result, they sit in the relegation zone ahead of the trip to Andalusia. Considering that Granada are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors will return to Madrid empty-handed. Both Jankto and Vitolo are likely to miss the game with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Roberto Soldado):
Roberto Soldado is regarded as one of the most famous footballers in the history of Villarreal. The meaning of his surname in Spanish is “the warrior” and it has to be noted that he began his football career at Real Madrid, playing from the B team between 2002 and 2006. The pacey attacker made 16 appearances and scored two goals for the first team, but he was producing the best performances of his career during his three-year spell at Valencia.
Soldado scored 59 goals in 101 appearances for los Che, but in 2013 he signed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £26 million. The Spanish attacker, who was born on 27 May, 1985 in Valencia, scored for the Spurs on his debut in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, but he netted the goal from the penalty spot.
Soldado failed to impress in the 2014/2015 Premier League campaign with Tottenham and, as a result, he was sold to Villarreal on 14 August, 2015. Speaking of his international career, the Villarreal attacker made his Spain debut in June, 2007 against Latvia.
