Granada form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the the worst goal difference (-8) away in La Liga, on their La Liga travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Granada has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Granada are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at PAOK. Preceding that match was the 3-3 draw at home vs Huesca.

The schedule is very tough for Granada now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Del Rey game at San Juan is waiting in only four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Granada as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. The Granada manager D. Martínez Penas has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - five - four (Elche wins - draws - Granada wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight had two or less.
