Granada vs Villarreal Prediction

Granada and Villarreal will conclude Matchday No 11 in Spanish La Liga on Monday evening when they take on each other at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes.

Both teams have been struggling to perform so far in the season. They are separated by three points in the bottom half of the standings.

Granada managed just one win in the opening ten rounds of the season and they will go into this winless in seven subsequent league games.

The team led by Paco Lopez have huge problems with the lack of defensive meticulousness these days.

Granada allowed at least two goals in three consecutive league outings, including the last Friday’s 0-2 defeat away at Osasuna.

With 25 goals shipped in 10 matches, Granada own the second-worst defensive record in the division.

Villarreal have not been much better defensively themselves of late. They took just one point from back-to-back home affairs against the likes of Las Palmas and Alaves.

The fact they allowed seven shots on target in the last weekend’s home tie against Deportivo Alaves says enough about their current form.

Latest Meetings

Villarreal have been much more successful historically with 9 wins, 5 draws, and just 2 losses in the last 16 clashes against Granada.

El Submarino Amarillo picked up a commanding 4-1 victory when they last visited Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes in February last year.

Three or more goals were scored in all but one of the last four clashes between these counterparts.

The Verdict

Backing goals at both ends has to be the way to go in this matchup knowing how easy to break down both sides have been in recent weeks. You can back this scenario at the 1.57 odds.

Alternatively, we will take Villarreal’s top scorer Gerard Moreno as the anytime goalscorer pick at the 2.62 odds. He converted the penalty kick in the last weekend’s draw to Alaves, marking his fourth goal of the season.
