Granada to bounce back against Mallorca
Granada CF vs Real Mallorca - 05/01/2020
3208
Despite losing 3 of their last 4 matches in La Liga, Granada will be eyeing off all three points in Sunday morning’s clash against lowly Mallorca when the two teams meet at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes, as the hosts seek a return to winning ways in the Spanish top flight.
Recent losses to Athletic Bilbao and Eibar (both away from home) along with a loss at home to Levante has prevented Granada from lifting themselves up into the top half of La Liga, but it should be noted that 2 of these 3 losses were incurred away from home, and they did register a convincing 3-0 home win over Deportivo Alaves prior to defeat to Levante.
Granada have won 5 of their total of 7 league wins to date at their Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes and although rtecent results have been a bit of a mixed bag with wins over Real Betis and Deportivo Alaves, the hosts have also lost to Real Sociedad and Levante.
Overall though, Granada have lost just 2 of their last 8 matches at home in La Liga, while losing just 1 of their previous 7 meetings against Mallorca as well.
Onto Mallorca then, and the visitors find themselves perched just above the relegation zone with just one league position and 1 point separating them from third from bottom club, Celta Vigo, ahead of this important Sunday morning clash.
Mallorca’s current predicament certainly hasn’t been helped by the fact that the visitors have lost 4 of their last 5 matches overall in La Liga, having suffered defeats to Levante, Real Betis, Barcelona and Sevilla and gaining just 1 point from the last 15 on offer thanks to a 2-2 draw away at fellow strugglers, Celta Vigo.
With just 1 win out of their last 9 matches overall in the Spanish top flight, this looks another tough outing for Mallorca who have yet to win on the road this season and have lost 7 of their 8 away matches to date this term.
Indeed, Mallorca have managed to pick up just 1 away win out of their last 18 matches on their travels, and they also possess the second worst defensive record away from home in this season’s La Liga behind only to Deportivo Alaves.
Granada therefore look the more likely to pick up the points here.
