With their 12 point advantage in the league table, Granada fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Celta de Vigo.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

It's quite the trip for Celta de Vigo when visiting Granada as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.

Granada form and stats

25 points is a decent return from 12 La Liga games here at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes for Granada. The data says 8 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. Granada are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

Happy days for Granada in their previous game, a La Liga match away at Osasuna (placed 12th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Real Valladolid in a game that was won 2-1.

The 3-0 win against Osasuna was decided after a strong and deadly first half, making the second half more of a journey towards the final whistle.

This is expected to be a close game, with Granada perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Granada as a small favourite), we find ten games. Granada has won eight of these, drawn zero and lost two.

The Granada fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. From these home matches, Granada have conceded only 8 goals.
