The penultimate matchday in the Spanish top flight sees the already-relegated Granada hosting 16th-place Celta Vigo. The home side sit 19th and with their points total of 21, see themselves trailing safety by 15 points with just two matches left on the fixture list. They’ll be playing only for pride at this point as they look to add to their four total wins on the season. The upshot for the Nazaries is that all four of those victories have come on home soil. Granada have accumulated a record of four wins, six draws and eight defeats at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes. This is a stark contrast to their road results where they are yet to record a win and have managed just three points on the year. Granada’s last outing saw them sink to a 2-1 away loss to Rayo Vallecano at the weekend.

With a five-point lead over 18th-place Cadiz, Celta are all but clear from the drop and can ensure their safety with a win today. Manager Claudio Giraldez has experienced a solid start to his time in charge of the first team. The 36-year-old was promoted from the B-team to replace Rafa Benitez after the former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss failed to impress in his lone season in charge. In his eight matches so far, Giraldez has seen his Celta team win four, draw once and lose three. Fans of Los Celestes have certainly seen more entertaining matches since the appointment of the new manager, with Celta’s home scoring in particular seeing a noticeable boost. They will have to improve on the road, however, as they have now been kept off the scoresheet in their last two consecutive away matches. Celta’s last outing resulted in a 2-1 home win over Athletic Club, marking their third home win in a row.
