Granada’s Recent Form

Granada has managed to climb out of the relegation zone following two consecutive victories and will be aiming to solidify their position this Friday. However, they face Las Palmas, who have yet to suffer an away defeat this season.

Season Start and Offensive Power

Granada had a difficult start to the season, losing four of their first five matches, but they’ve since found their rhythm. This resurgence includes a 1-1 draw with Burgos and impressive wins against Huesca (1-0) and Real Sociedad B (5-2). Pacheta’s side has moved up to 18th place. Despite this improvement, their defense remains a weak point, having conceded 15 goals, making it the third-worst in the league. Offensively, however, “Nazaríes” are showing promising signs with 11 goals scored, failing to score in only two of their eight matches.

Las Palmas’ Strong Performance

Las Palmas is a strong contender for promotion, having suffered only two defeats in eight league fixtures, both at home (0-1). Crucially, they remain undefeated on the road. A recent 1-0 victory over Cadiz, secured by Barcia’s goal in the 85th minute, sees them comfortably in fifth place in Segunda. While their defense has only conceded five goals all season, these goals were spread across five different matches. Their attack also performs well, having scored eight goals, with 22-year-old Ale García contributing three of them.

Match Outlook and Prediction

Granada is gaining momentum at home, while Las Palmas has maintained an unbeaten streak in their last three away games. Both teams exhibit vulnerabilities in defense, yet possess the attacking prowess to create scoring opportunities. Therefore, I anticipate both teams will find the back of the net in this encounter.
