Granada form and stats

Granada have played 14 La Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-6 (wins-draws-losses).

Happy days for Granada in their previous game, a fixture away at Deportivo Alaves (placed 19th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. The attacking player Molina was declared "man of the match" for Granada with the rating of 8.01/10. Molina served one assist and hit four key passes.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Deportivo Alaves and winning 3-2.

Granada are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 14 games. More than 55 percent of these goals (10 in all) were scored after at least 60 minutes had been played. Granada have conceded 22 from these games.

Rayo Vallecano form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Rayo Vallecano so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-10 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Rayo Vallecano, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Deportivo Alaves game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Atletico Madrid with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Midfielder Trejo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.21. Trejo hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 41 successful passes (of 48 total).

A draw for Vallecano before that, at their own venue hosting Sevilla (1-1).

The attacking power of Rayo Vallecano when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Rayo Vallecano's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Rayo Vallecano - Granada 4-0 was the scoreline in these participants' last h2h fixture, earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - one - seven (Granada wins - draws - Rayo Vallecano wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
