Granada CF vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting tips
Spanish football is split in two during the week. On the one hand, the semifinals of the Spanish Supercup are on the program, and on the other hand, the ball rolls in some catch-ups. One of the late games is the duel between Granada and Osasuna, which will kick off on Tuesday at 18:00 p.m.
The game was originally scheduled for the fourth matchday of the current 2020/21 season. In the meantime, last year’s two promoted players have played 17 league games. Those in charge from Granada can draw a much more positive conclusion, because the EL starter ranks seventh, while the guests from Osasuna are second to last on a relegation position.
The game will by no means be a sure-fire success for the home side, after all, Osasuna surprised with a goalless draw against Real Madrid at the weekend. Even the best bookmakers expect a relatively even game. Slight advantages can be seen at Granada against Osasuna given the odds at the home side.
Granada :
As a newcomer, Granada surprised many experts last season and delivered an outstanding playing time. In the end, the team of head coach Diego Martinez took the outstanding sixth place in the table. Not a flash in the pan, because the Andalusians are currently in seventh place and can dream of Europe again.
When looking at the current LaLiga table, however, it stands out that Granada is in the extended top group with a goal difference of -10. An unusual situation with a completely balanced statistic of seven wins, three draws and seven defeats.
Decisive for the catastrophic goal difference are the two heavy defeats against Atletico Madrid (1: 6) and last weekend against FC Barcelona (0: 4). Ex-Bundesliga professional Jesus Vallejo saw the red card due to an emergency brake and will be missing in the catch-up game.
However, Vallejo has not been able to get hold of a permanent regular place in the last few months and thus his lack can be compensated for. Regardless of the personnel situation, it will be important that the home side get the defensive stabilized again.
In 2019/20 Granada also had 24 points after 17 games, but conceded seven fewer goals. The home record gives hope for a successful catch-up game, as Granada have won five of their nine home games (two draws, two defeats). A total of 17 of the 24 points were collected in the home Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium.
Osasuna :
Not only was Granada a surprisingly strong climber last season, but so was the Pamplona team. Osasuna occupied tenth place in the table with a strong 52 points and was not in relegation at any point in the season.
The strong form from the previous year could initially also be transported into the 2020/21 season. With ten points from the first six league games, the start was quite successful before the Jagoba Arrasate team slipped into a crisis.
The last league win was on October 24th, when Athletic Bilbao were defeated 1-0 on matchday seven. Since then, the bullfighters have missed a sense of achievement eleven times in a row. Due to this negative run, the team slipped further and further in the table and is now in a relegation zone.
However, given that it is only two points behind, the saving bank is in sight. Compared to the previous season, the Arrasate-Elf currently has eight points less on the credit side.
One of the big problems this season is undoubtedly the power of attack. Chimy Avila was life insurance last season, but the gaucho is out due to a cruciate ligament rupture and is not expected back until later in March. In his absence, Osasuna has only scored 15 goals in 17 league games.
Even if Osasuna hasn’t won for months, a small upward trend cannot be denied. This is not only due to the goalless draw against champions Real Madrid, but the point win against Los Blancos was already the fourth draw in a row.
