📰 Team News: Granada

In our view, Nazaríes will probably line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation this time featuring Diego Marino, Rubén Sánchez, Miguel Angel Rubio, Loïc Williams, Carlos Neva, Manu Trigueros, Sergio Ruiz, Georgiy Tsitaishvili, Martin Hongla, Abde Rebbach and Shon Weissman.

🗞️ Team News: Elche CF

In an otherwise available group, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Elche CF boss Eder Sarabia to contend with. Yago Santiago (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

We’re of the thinking that Los Franjiverdes might begin the game with a 4-4-2 formation using Matias Dituro, Alvaro Nunez, David Affengruber, Alex Martin, Jose Salinas, Josan, Nicolas Castro, Aleix Febas, German Valera, Oscar Plano and Nicolas Fernandez.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment is that Elche CF should have enough to break down this Granada side, but it isn’t expected to be as many as they will have scored against them.

Our selection here is for a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Granada at the end of the match. Hopefully this is a good one.
