Granada - statistics & current form
The Andalusian representative is often underestimated. Last season, head coach Diego Martinez's team impressed as promoted and sensationally qualified for the UEFA Europa League. Granada has also been able to survive on the international stage and is still represented in the competition. The quarter-final draw for Manchester United seems to be an insurmountable hurdle, but nobody believed that Granada would eliminate SSC Napoli.
Impressive home record
The Martinez-Elf laid the foundation stone for the sensational success against the Italian top club once again in their home Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium. Even without the support of the spectators, Granada presents itself as strong as a bear at home. An average of 1.74 points per home game was already a strong result in 2019/20, this season the average was increased again.
There are eight wins, three draws and three defeats in 14 LaLiga home games, giving an average of 1.93 points per home game. Especially because of these numbers, it is surprising that the betting base odds comparison at Granada vs. Villarreal throws out such high betting odds for a bet in the direction of the hosts.
2021 is not yet going according to plan
To have a single-digit place in the table again in the "difficult second year" and to be in the Europa League quarter-finals are excellent key data for the current season. And yet the fans of Granada look a little disappointed at the performances this calendar year. In the Spanish LaLiga, Granada only won three of the 13 games in 2021, but they have seven defeats and only three draws.
The extremely tight schedule (league, Europa League, Copa del Rey) ensured that Granada reached its limits. The frame width is not ideal for dancing at three weddings. In this respect, the international break was certainly to be rated positively. With charged reserves of strength, it is now time to defend eighth place in the table. In terms of personnel, Diego Martinez only has to do without the Colombian Luis Suarez on Saturday, so veteran Roberto Soldado will start again as the solo leader.
Expected formation of Granada:
Silva - Diaz, Sanchez, Duarte, Quini - Herrera, Eteki - Vico, Quina, Kenedy - Soldado
Villarreal - statistics & current form
The season of the yellow submarine so far shows some parallels to the achievements of FC Granada. Under Unai Emery, Villarreal started the season brilliantly and was extremely difficult to defeat for a long time. The Champions League qualification was within reach, but meanwhile the renewed qualification for the Europa League has to be shaken.
Negative trend stopped
On the national stage, things have by no means gone according to plan in the calendar year to date. The Emery-Elf apparently forgot how to win with the first leg against Granada. The penalty awarded by former BVB striker Paco Alcacer was a kind of "game changer" in the current season. After the 2-2 draw, Villarreal remained unsuccessful seven more times in the domestic championship.
Because of this unprofessional reputation, the yellow submarine was thrown back to seventh place. Only in the last two games before the international break did the Emery-Elf return to winning ways. The two games against Eibar and Cadiz could be won and thus at least seventh place secured a little.
The big problem in the current season is the countless point-sharing. No fewer than 13 of the 28 league games in 2020/21 ended in a draw - making the yellow submarine the king of draws in the league. On Holy Saturday, odds of around 3.30 am for Granada vs. Villarreal are offered for a further division of points.
Gerard Moreno guarantees success
In particular, the last few weeks have shown that Villarreal is extremely dependent on the 28-year-old attacker Gerard Moreno. With 16 goals this season and five assists, the Spanish international is both the best goalscorer and the best assists in the Emery team. The bookmaker Bet365 tested by us offers betting odds of 2.50 for a Moreno hit at Granada. After Paco Alcacer was rarely able to bring his qualities to the field, the 27-year-old was last ousted by veteran Carlos Bacca.
For the duel between the neighbors in the table, Unai Emery also has to do without the much-sought-after Pau Torres. The central defender recently had to slow down due to a muscle injury.
Expected formation of Villarreal:
Asenjo - Estupinian, Raul Albiol, Funes Mori, Gaspar - Chukwueze, Parejo, Foyth, Trigueros - Moreno, Bacca
Direct comparison / H2H
In the last ten years there have been a total of 13 games between the two teams in the Spanish upper house of football. The yellow submarine is a kind of feared opponent for Granada, because the Andalusians have only won two of these 13 games, but have already suffered seven defeats.
Granada celebrated the two victories mentioned at home in the Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium - but most recently in the 2013/14 season. There was no victory in the last four home games. There was also no winner in the first duel of the season, which ended with a 2-2 draw on January 20th. Paco Alcacer forgave Villarreal victory from the penalty spot in stoppage time.
Betting base forecast & Spain Granada - Villarreal Spain tip
In terms of play, Villarreal is certainly one of the absolute top teams in the Spanish LaLiga - the Emery-Elf is always looking for a playful solution and often takes a relatively high risk when playing from behind. This concept worked well for a long time before Villarreal slipped into a crisis. The negative trend was stopped with two wins in the last two games, but the odds offered for betting on the guests at Granada vs. Villarreal are definitely too low.
After all, the host from Andalusia is a team that collects an average of almost two points per home game. The Martinez-Elf is very difficult to defeat at home and accordingly there is no value to be found in the bet on Villarreal.
Due to the certainly higher quality, Villarreal can certainly compensate for Granada's home advantage a little, but a win is not to be expected. A further division of points seems likely, after all, both teams will be squinting a little towards the Europa League quarter-finals next Thursday. Accordingly, in Granada vs. Villarreal, the prediction of the draw with four units is alluded to.
