Barcelona return to La Liga action after the postponement of their game last week and they have a lot to prove as they host Granada at Camp Nou. With a game in hand, Barca are seventh with seven points, three points behind the leading pack, while Granada are in 17th place with two points. Barcelona are coming from a humiliating home defeat in the Champions League, losing 3-0 to Bayern Munich and they go to this game with a horde of injuries in the team. Pedri and Jordi Alba have joined a list that has Ansu Fati, Sergino Dest, Sergio Aguero, Martin Brathwaite and Ousmane Dembele in the treatment room. They have no clean sheet so far in the season, but have failed to score in just one of their last 33 league matches. Three of their four matches this season have produced over 2.5 goals, just as four of their last five in the league at home.

Granada are on a very poor run; they are winless so far this season and only sit above the relegation zone by a point. They have just one clean sheet in their four matches and have conceded seven in the last three while failing to score in two of the four. Ahead of this game, they lost 2-1 to Real Betis, leaving them winless in nine league matches. In the nine games, they’ve lost six and away from home they are winless in four league games, with three losses. Granada have conceded two or more goals in three of the four away matches. While they go to this game as the underdogs, they have two wins in their last six matches against Barcelona. They beat Barca 2-1 in their most recent meeting and will be looking to rise against all odds here.
