Granada plays host to Barcelona at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes in this Matchday 20 encounter in La Liga. The hosts are in 13th position with 23 points while the visitors are in 5th position with 31 points. Granada sit comfortably in mid table and a run of six league matches without defeat has helped their position on the table. They have won their last three home matches and this includes a 2-1 against champions Atletico Madrid. Granada have avoided defeat in their last two matches against Barcelona and have not achieved this feat in their previous 19 matches against them. Granada have only once in their history gone seven matches unbeaten in top flight football and the only previous time they accomplished this was in 1969.

Barcelona have shown a marked improvement in their form in recent matches and have now gone five matches without defeat. They are currently in fifth place and with their title ambitions long gone they will be looking to salvage their season by qualifying for the Champions league. They are just a point behind Atletico Madrid who are in fourth position and a win could take them into the top four. Their away form has been very good with just one defeat in their last eight matches. Barcelona have won on eight of their last 10 matches away to Granada while scoring at least three goals in their last four away wins. They have only lost once in their last nine La Liga games with four wins and four draws.
