16th- against 13th position might not feel all that tempting to look into. But: Tipsway has the info that makes Granada - Espanyol (even) more absorbing!

Insights:
  • Granada have the fewest clean sheets (3) at home in La Liga
  • Espanyol is in the worst form (0-2-4)

Relegation threatens Granada who should definitely be looking for some points here. Espanyol is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

These teams have little in common geographically as Espanyol have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
