Granada CF vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Betting tips
The biggest game in the club’s history so far awaits the Granada Club de Futbol on Thursday evening. The Andalusians, who were still in the second Spanish league in 2018/19, worked their way up to the quarter-finals of the Europa League sensationally, where they drew an extremely attractive lot with Manchester United. It is all the more annoying that no spectators will be allowed in the first leg at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes.
In purely sporting terms, the odds between Granada and Manchester United are of course clearly in favor of the English heavyweight, after all, it is already the 27th European Cup quarter-finals in the club’s history. For comparison: The southern Spanish are represented internationally for the first time and thus the first team since RB Leipzig 2017/18 to put down such a deep run in a European competition in the debut season.
Granada:
The development of the Granada CF should earn a lot of respect from many experts. After a 35-year dry spell in the lower classes of Spanish football, the Andalusians finally made it to La Liga in 2018/2019. Instead of fighting to stay in the league in the first year, the red-whites took an outstanding seventh place and thus secured a ticket for the Europa League qualification.
Although the “Nazaries” are represented in Europe for the first time in the club’s history, there was absolutely no sign of any initial difficulties. Thanks to three successes in qualification and the subsequent second place in Group E behind PSV Eindhoven, the leap into the knockout round was made, where first SSC Napoli and then the Norwegian Hoffenheim conqueror Molde could be eliminated.
The bottom line is that “El Grana” has played 13 Europa League games, eight of which were won and only two were lost. The home record with four wins in six games in their own stadium and only two conceded goals also reads very well. However, it must be stated that the Iberians only scored twelve hits and produced three offensive zero numbers in ten matches in the main competition. In addition, Granada is currently no longer in the condition of earlier days or weeks.
Manchester United:
Manchester United prefer to keep a cloak of silence about their performance in the Champions League group stage. Behind Paris St. Germain and RB Leipzig, the English giant only took third place and was relegated to the Europa League. There, however, the “Red Devils” want to win the title at best, similar to 2017.
In any case, the chances are anything but bad, because before the start of the quarter-finals between Granada and Manchester United, a tip on the overall victory of the Solskjaer-Elf in this competition with the lowest odds is considered.
The star ensemble from the island has earned this favorite status, because in the two previous knockout rounds, Real Sociedad and AC Milan, two highly valued clubs, were eliminated. In the four completed matches United conceded only one goal and celebrated two “to-zero” successes abroad. In San Sebastian there was a 4-0; Pogba and Co. won 1-0 in San Siro.
