Granada vs Valencia Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Relegation strugglers Granada look to start their turnaround when they host a sliding Valencia, who are themselves looking for a lift. The La Liga match at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes on Wednesday will see the hosts start 19th in the standings with 14 points, while the visitors are eighth with 41 points. Granada are 14 points behind 17th-placed Celta Vigo and are racing against time to save their season. The club has re-appointed José Ramón Sandoval as manager over the international break, but that has done little to lift their morale. They lost 1-0 to Cadiz last time out, making it four straight defeats in the league. In fact, the hosts haven’t won since winning their first match of the calendar year. Since then, Granada have lost seven and drawn three of their last ten matches.

Valencia have slipped in the race for European spots, starting this match eight points behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad. They endured a 0-0 draw against Mallorca last time, making it two straight league games without a goal. Their recent run of three draws, one win, and a loss has punctured any hopes of making it to the top six. Yet, there’s still time left, and Valencia will be desperate for a win here to get back on track. They won the reverse fixture 1-0 with a first-half penalty and wouldn’t mind another low-scoring victory. That’s especially true considering their recent away form, as Valencia have lost their last three away league games. Each of those saw them fail to score, something the visitors would like to correct on this trip.
