Insights:
  • Valencia haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Granada have the most conceded goals (28) away in La Liga

Granada could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Molde. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Valencia form and stats

5 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Valencia have to build on here at Estadio de Mestalla in the La Liga. It’s been three wins in a row for Valencia here at Estadio de Mestalla, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Valencia are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Levante. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Villarreal.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Valencia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won seven times, drawn five and lost one.

A decent goal production from Valencia in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 13 league matches. Valencia have conceded 15 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
