Granada form and stats

3-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga numbers at home for Granada so far this season.

Happy days for Granada in their previous game, a Copa Del Rey match away at San Juan that ended with a 2-0 victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Elche and winning 1-0.

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 14 games. Granada has won nine of these, drawn three and lost two.

There will be little rest for Granada after this match as they are travelling to Real Madrid for a La Liga game in only three days.

Granada have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes with 10 goals in 6 league matches. 8 goals have been conceded.

Real Betis form and stats

The visitors, who have the most conceded goals (24) in La Liga, are W3-D0-L4 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga.

It's the second away game in a row for Betis, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus UCAM Murcia in the Copa Del Rey last time out. A draw for Real Betis before that, at their own venue hosting Villarreal (1-1).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Real Betis in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Real Betis, six draws and five defeats.

A new game in only three days for Betis, the La Liga home match versus Cádiz. Busy days.

Betis have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 7 goals have been scored. The Betis manager M. Pellegrini Ripamonti has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Granada won four, Real Betis won two and four draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
