Football Results

It cannot be said that this is a duel that decides about the top of the table, but it is certainly important for both teams in the fight for playoffs. Granada is currently fifth with eight points less than the first two teams in the table, while Numancia is eight, but they have won only one point less than their host. The problem for Granada is a very bad form and they have been defeated in the previous three games after a series of four victories, and Numamcia has scored three triumphs in the last round after three games without defeats. In the first part of the season, Granada has defeated Numancia with 3-1 as a guest.

Granada

There were a lot of ups and downs in Granada this season and that is why the express return in La Liga after last year's elimination, is very questionable. Their direct placement in the elite rank will not be an easy task due to the high score backlog and there is still a struggle to be at least sixth in order to qualify for additional playoffs. Granada has started this season badly, after which they played very well and they were even the leaders for one round.

Lately, they have a lot of oscillations and they are recording wins and defeats in longer or shorter series, while they have not played a draw since the middle of December. They are now in a negative series of three defeats and each one was with one goal difference, and that series came after four triumphs in a row. In the last round they took the lead in Oviedo and lost with 2-1, while they were left without Diaz, Manaja and Machis, who are suspended for this duel.

Probable lineups Granada: J.Varas – Quini, Chico, Saunier, A.Martinez – Agra, Montoro, Raul Baena, Pena – Pedro, Joselu

Numancia

Numancia does not succeed in achieving a longer positive series, but there is no bigger crisis of results, so the placement did not have so much oscillation, and this team has been standing there somewhere on the edge of additional playoffs. It should be said that Numancia was the leader of Segunda this season, after which they recorded a defeat and two draws, and immediately dropped on the table. They had a recent series of three games without a win, but this time with two defeats and draws and this has led them to the ninth place on the table, which was their worst placement this season.

In the last round they defeated Teneriffe on their field with 2-0 and so they remained very close to positions for the playoffs. It was not easy even in that match and only in the last half an hour, they managed to record a triumph with two goals, after losing with 2-0 against Barcelona B two rounds ago and they won one point thanks to a goal in the injury time. Milla and Diamanka have scored goals after entering from the bench, and they were starters in the last round, while we are not expecting any new changes.

Probable lineups Numancia: Aitor – Etxeberria, Gonzalez, Escassi, Ripa – Diamanka, I.Perez – Nacho, Milla, Mateu – Guillermo

Verdict:

Granada has lost the previous three games, but now they are back on their field, where they perform much better. Numancia is in a somewhat better shape, however, they are quite weak as guests and we predict a triumph of the host.
