This could be an interesting match as Granada have their presumed home advantage while Barcelona are ahead 7 points in the La Liga table.
- Granada have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Barcelona has the most scored goals (33) in La Liga
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Granada and Barcelona.
Barcelona have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Granada form and stats
Granada are steadily winning La Liga games and points here at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes. 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 8 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes.
Granada are returning here after visiting Cultural Leonesa (after extra-time) in a Copa Del Rey game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Jorge Molina and Darwin Machís scored the goal(s). A La Liga defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Eibar.
The victory against Cultural Leonesa (after extra-time) came after Darwin Machís's winning goal. The Granada manager D. Martínez Penas was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 61st minute.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Granada as they have a new game in only three days, a La Liga match thankfully also at home. Osasuna are visiting.
Granada have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes with 14 goals in 8 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Granada have conceded 9 in these home matches.
Barcelona form and stats
The visitors, who have the most scored goals (33) in La Liga, are W4-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga. It’s been three wins in a row for Barcelona on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
Two travels in a row for Barcelona, whose manager R. Koeman could celebrate last time after the La Liga win against Athletic Club. Prior to that result Barcelona won their away game at Huesca. The scoreline was 1-0.
The schedule is very tough for Barcelona now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Super Cup game at Real Sociedad is waiting in only three days.
Barcelona are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 8 away games so far. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
