Granada form and stats

The visitors are W1-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga 2. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Granada's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The attacking players of Granada have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 195 minutes.

Granada's last game was the home draw against Huesca (0-0). Callejón, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.35. Callejón hit the woodwork once, hit two key passes and had 19 successful passes (of 22 total).

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Las Palmas's place.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Granada's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. Granada's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
