Granada form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga, Granada have managed 4 wins, 6 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 17 games. Granada are slowly digging their own grave here at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Atletico Madrid match.

A good away victory last time out for Granada, who won 6-2 against Mallorca (placed 18th). As indicated by the result mentioned above, Granada played a great game against Mallorca and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Granada goalkeeper Maximiano did an outstanding job against Mallorca with six saves, so vital to securing the victory. Escudero was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.05 out of 10. The defender Escudero scored one goal and won 6 of 6 duels.

In the match before that, Granada hosted Celta de Vigo and drew the game 1-1.

The Granada fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 17 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 29 goals have been conceded.
