Granada CF vs Alaves prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-04-13 14:15.
[p]Relegation is inching nearer and nearer for Granada, who are closing in on their demotion to the second tier being confirmed. Having won just two of 30 La Liga games this season (D8, L20), it’s easy to see why they’re cut so far adrift in the bottom three, and on the back of an 11 match winless league run (D3, L8), they’re showing little sign of going down with pride either. [/p]
[p]Five successive defeats bookend that run, and irrespective of how badly their season has gone, the promoted haven’t suffered the ignominy of six La Liga losses in a row all season. And their luck could be about to turn with the visit of AlavĂ©s, a side they’re unbeaten against in nine home H2Hs (W8, D1), winning each of the last six! [/p]
[p]Although they come into the round perched seemingly comfortably in 13th, Alavés’ top-flight status isn’t yet assured despite their seven-point cushion to the drop zone. Their cause certainly hasn’t been helped across their last two league games, as two defeats combined with the five teams to start this round directly beneath them picking up at least three points, has allowed the chasing pack to close the gap a little. [/p]
[p]A three match unbeaten run away to Andalusian sides in La Liga (W2, D1) should at least build confidence that an end to their mini slump is just around the corner. But given they’ve gone scoreless across their last three top-flight away outings (D1, L2), and haven’t netted more than once in a single La Liga game since January, even travelling to Andalusia might not be enough to remedy their current woes. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Three of Granada’s last four league goals have been netted by Myrto Uzuni, who has scored four goals across his last three H2Hs against AlavĂ©s – including a brace in this corresponding fixture last season in the Segunda DivisiĂłn. Luis Rioja has faced Granada more than any side in his career, and three of his last four personal H2Hs yielded an assist. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Granada’s home league games this season have averaged 1.6 first-half goals per game. [/p]
