-----------------------------------

Villarreal is welcoming Granada to Estadio de la Ceramica in round 19 in the Spanish LaLiga.

 

Villarreal is still going strong, and they are now on a 4-game winning streak with 2 wins in LaLiga, and 2 wins in Copa del Rey. During this stretch, Villarreal has scored 11 goals while conceding only 2 goals. In the LaLiga standings, Villarreal is now in 4th place with 32 points, which is the Champions League spot. In their last game against Celta Vigo on the road, Villarreal has had 44% of ball possession, 6 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 6 big chances created, and a solid 85% of the correct passes. Villarreal has had an outstanding first half where they scored 4 goals, and deservedly won this game 0-1 on the road. Villarreal has scored 26 goals so far this season, and they are among the best offensive teams in the league. Gerard Moreno has scored 10 goals for Villarreal so far, while Alcacer added 5 goals and 2 assists. Alberto Moreno, Iborra, Gaspar, and Chukwueze are all injured for Villarreal at the moment. Villarreal is also playing in the Europa League where they will face Red Bull Salzburg in the first round of the knockouts. I like everything about this Villarreal team, and I hope they can keep this pace up for the rest of the season.

 

Granada has been playing well as of late, and they have lost only 3 of their last 12 games while winning 7 of those 12 games. With this positive run, Granada is now in 7th place in the LaLiga standings with 27 points, and they are only 3 points away from the Europa League spot. Offensively, Granada hasn’t been overly good with only 21 scored goals, while their defense wasn’t any better with 29 conceded goals. Granada was hosting Osasuna in their last LaLiga game, and they were the weaker team with only 39% of ball possession, 3 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and extremely low 58% of the correct passes. Despite being forced to their half for most of the game, Granada was able to score 2 goals in the first half, and they ended up winning this match 2-0. With only 4 goals, Suarez is the leading goalscorer for Granada, while Molina and Soldado added 3 goals each. Machis has 3 assists. Lozano and Gonalons are injured, while Diaz and Quini are still questionable for this game. Granada might be high in the standings at the moment, but their lack of offense and unstable defense won’t allow them to stay there for much longer.

 

When playing at home, Villarreal has not lost to Granada in their last 7 games, and Villarreal’s home record this season is 5-4-0. Villarreal is the better team here, and I will take them to win this game.

 

Pick: Villarreal
