Sevilla haven’t had any problems with scoring, netting in each and every one of their last 6 games.

Coming into this clash, Sevilla haven't been beaten in the league by Granada in their previous 2 matches.

Granada

LLLWDW

Granada will go into the clash after a 3-0 La Liga win with the downing of Osasuna in their previous game.

In that game, Granada had 37% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. For Granada, the goalscorers were Facundo Pellistri (29'), Myrto Uzuni (48') and Lucas Boyé (94'). At the other end, Osasuna had 11 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.

A series of dependable displays by the Granada defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their previous 6 clashes combined. Over that same period of time, their own attack force has managed to score 6. Such a trend won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, however.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Granada:

• have left without a victory over Sevilla when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league matches. Not good.
• are without a win away from home in their last 16 league matches. What a horror away run it has been.

📰 Team News: Sevilla

Isaac Romero (Hip injury), Adrià Pedrosa (Muscle injury), Djibril Sow (Broken toe), Óliver Torres (Shoulder injury) and Nemanja Gudelj (Meniscus injury) won’t be able to feature for Sevilla gaffer Quique Sánchez Flores. Suso is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We think that Sevillistas could make use of the 4-4-2 system and select O. Haaskjold Nyland, Jesus Navas, Loic Bade, Sergio Ramos, Kike Salas, Lucas Ocampos, Boubakary Soumare, Lucien Agoume, Marcos Acuna, Youssef En-Nesyri and Erik Lamela.

📰 Team News: Granada

Owing to a completely healthy squad to choose from, the Granada manager José Sandoval does not have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this clash.

We believe Nazaríes might elect for a 4-4-2 formation, giving starts to Augusto Batalla, Bruno Mendez, Miguel Rubio, Ignasi Miquel, Carlos Neva, Facundo Pellistri, Sergio Ruiz, Gerard Gumbau, Kamil Jozwiak, Lucas Boye and Matias Arezo.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Granada will surely be able to find the net against this Sevilla lineup, although it possibly won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re tipping a narrow 2-1 advantage for Sevilla at the end of this one. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
