Granada CF - Alaves Predictions

Prediction: Granada CF or draw
Best odds: 1.66

As the sun rises on another thrilling weekend of La Liga action, all eyes turn to the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes where Granada CF will host Alaves on a serene Sunday afternoon. With the league season inching towards its climax, the stakes are higher than ever, and predictions are swirling as fans and pundits alike try to forecast the outcome of this crucial match-up.

Key Players

Granada CF, desperate to claw their way out of the relegation zone, will rely heavily on the prowess of their star attacker, Samuel Omorodion Aghehowa. With a rating of 6.70, Aghehowa has been a beacon of hope in a tumultuous season, boasting 8 goals and a commendable 21 shots on target from 47 attempts. His ability to break through defenses could be pivotal in this encounter.

In defense, Miguel Ángel Rubio Lestán has been a cornerstone for Granada, contributing not only with solid defending but also chipping in with a goal. His partner in the backline, Ricard Sánchez Sendra, with a slightly higher rating of 6.72, has shown his threat on set pieces, netting 3 goals this season.

Alaves, sitting more comfortably in the middle of the table, will count on the services of Abderrahmane Rebbach, an attacker who, despite scoring only once, has shown glimpses of his potential to unsettle defenses. In defense, Facundo Nahuel Tenaglia has been a consistent performer, with a rating of 6.68, ensuring that Alaves maintains its solidity at the back.

The midfield battle could be decided by Carlos Nahuel Benavídez Protesoni, whose contributions have been vital for Alaves. With one goal and one assist to his name, his vision and passing could be the key to unlocking Granada's defense.

Recent Form

Granada CF's recent form has been a cause for concern, with a string of losses and a solitary draw in their last five outings. Their struggle to secure points has left them languishing at the 19th spot on the table, with a worrying goal difference of -29.

On the other hand, Alaves have had a mixed bag of results, with a win, two losses, and two draws. While they are not completely out of the woods, their position is significantly better than their opponents, sitting at the 13th rank with 32 points and a -10 goal difference.

Head-to-Head History

Looking at the head-to-head encounters, the history between these two teams has been evenly matched. The most recent clash on November 24, 2023, saw Alaves secure a 3-1 victory at home. Before that, on May 5, 2023, they played out a 1-1 draw. Granada CF will take some solace from their December 2, 2022, encounter, where they emerged victorious with a 3-1 scoreline, a reminder that they are capable of overcoming their rivals.

Prediction

The upcoming match is fraught with implications for both sides. Granada CF are fighting for survival, and every point from now on is precious. Alaves, while not in immediate danger, would be eager to distance themselves further from the relegation fray.

Given the recent form and the pressure on Granada to deliver in front of their home crowd, this match could be tighter than the standings suggest. However, without a clear prediction on the winner and considering both teams' performances, a draw could be the most likely outcome, with a low-scoring affair on the cards.

In conclusion, expect a hard-fought battle with Samuel Omorodion Aghehowa and Ricard Sánchez Sendra playing critical roles for Granada, while Alaves will hope for Facundo Nahuel Tenaglia and Carlos Nahuel Benavídez Protesoni to stand firm. The final whistle could very well see the points shared in a strategic stalemate.
