Prediction: 1-1
Rayo Vallecano
Granada and Rayo Vallecano face each other at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes in the closing match of the La Liga round 2. Los Granadinos suffered a 3-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in their opener, but their display in the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano clash was anything but poor. The Andalusians are eager to register their first triumph of the season and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against los Vallecanos. Bryan Zaragoza is pushing for a start after improving Granada’s game as a substitute against los Rojiblancos, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The capital club, on the other hand, showcased their worth in a 2-0 win at Almeria, but seeing that Jose Callejon and Co. are tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Barring any fresh injury worries, Francisco Rodriguez is unlikely to make changes to the team that kicked off the new Primera Division campaign in great manner.
Highlighted Player (Stole Dimitrievski):
Born in Kumanovo, North Macedonia, Stole Dimitrievski is a 190-cm-tall goalkeeper who plays for Segunda Division side Rayo Vallecano. Dimitrievski started his senior career at Rabotnicki, but he made no more than 18 appearances for the Macedonian outfit in the national championship. In the summer of 2012 he decided to move to Spain, signing a deal with Granada.
The towering shot-stopper made 90 appearances for Granada B, while playing no more than one game for the senior team. Following his spells with Gimnastic, Stole Dimitrievski moved to Rayo Vallecano. The Macedonian goalkeeper made his Rayo debut in La Liga in a 2-2 draw with Villarreal on November 11, 2018, while keeping his first clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Eibar later that month.
His preferred foot is right, and his contract with Rayo Vallecano should expire on June 30, 2024. Speaking of his international career, Dimitrievski made his full debut with the North Macedonia national team on November 12, 2015 in a 4-1 win over Montenegro.
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).
