Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Granada will be aiming to recover from a 2-0 loss to Real Oviedo when they take on Cartagena in the La Liga 2 round 20. Los Granadinos are eyeing a spot in the playoffs and a win over Cartagena will see them move closer to top six in the standings. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Carlos Neva remains in the recovery room. Experienced midfielder Sergio Ruiz is pushing for a recall to the starting eleven.
Los Blanquinegros, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Castellon and seeing that Granada are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. In their last encounter in Andalusia Granada defeated Cartagena 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The likes of Izquierdo, Teguia, Verdu, and Aguirregabiria should miss out with injuries for the away team.
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).
