2059

Granada are one point above the La Liga relegation zone heading into matchday 28. On Saturday, Los Rojiblancos will play 14th-place Elche in a massive six-point affair.

Elche are five points above the relegation zone heading into the weekend fixture at Granada. The Green Striped Ones are on a two-match losing streak.

Granada are in even worse form going into matchday 28. Los Rojiblancos are winless in six straight matches with five of those fixtures ending in losses.

The reverse fixture between these teams finished nil-nil as neither side could get the upper hand in the fixture.

Granada will be confident of getting a result. Los Rojiblancos are undefeated in four straight matches versus Elche.

Despite playing well against Elche, Los Rojiblancos picked up just one point from the last 18 points available in La Liga.

Granada scored just two goals across their last six games in the league. Meanwhile, they allowed 12 goals to opponents.

Elche took seven points from the last 18 points available in La Liga. They were outscored 11-8 in the last six games. Elche lost four of their last six games away from home. Their last two matches on the road ended as defeats.

Granada are unbeaten in four of their last six matches at home. They have posted a home record of 4W-4D-5L this season on their own turf.

Manager Robert Moreno will be without defender Domingo Duarte due to a red card suspension. Midfielder Maxime Gonalons is a doubt due to a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, defender Santiago Arias could be available following a hamstring issue.

Elche coach Francisco Rodriguez will be without midfielder Gerard Gumbau, who is suspended for the match.

Midfielder John Donald has a sprained ankle, but could make the squad. Defender Helibelton Palacios is also in line to return following a hamstring injury.

Both sides are in desperate need of points to help them move away from the bottom of the table. Moreno will be hopeful that Granada’s top scorer Jorge Molina can get on the scoresheet. Molina has seven goals this season in La Liga.

Elche are led in goals by the combination of Lucas Boye and Pere Milla. The duo has combined for 14 goals with seven apiece.

These teams drew earlier this season with neither side finding the back of the net. Granada and Elche should finish in a stalemate once more when they meet on Saturday. This time the teams should both find the back of the net with under 2.5 goals scored.
