Match Preview – 19:45 Kick-Off at Los Carmenes Stadium, Granada

Relegation-threatened Granada have lost 4 of their last 5 games as their form shows no sign of improving enough to keep them afloat in La Liga. Their most recent defeat, a 3-1 reverse at home to Sporting Gijón saw them overtaken by their bottom of the table rivals and things are really looking grim for manager Lucas Alcaraz.

Barcelona have won 6 out of their last 7 league games, but their recent away defeat to Deportivo La Coruna dealt a huge blow to their title aspirations. Los Culés are aiming to win a La Liga and Champions League double to give Luis Enrique the perfect summer send-off and they will hope to claim a routine win at struggling Granada.

Unsurprisingly, Barcelona have won the last 5 meetings against Granada, though they could only manage a narrow 1-0 win over the side from Andalusia when the teams met at the Nou Camp on October 29th. Read our expert advice in our Granada v Barcelona betting tips below.

Granada v Barcelona Predictions

Even though Granada have won 3 of their 4 last home games, Barcelona are clear favourites heading into Sunday’s game at Los Carmenes Stadium. With Real Madrid leading La Liga by 2 points with a game in hand to come, Barcelona have to take maximum points from fixtures like this. There are no excuses – even without the suspended Lionel Messi, Barcelona should win.

With the vast majority of bookies giving Barcelona odds of 2/11 to win and Granada odds of 12/1 to beat the visitors, you are better off digging through offers in the alternative markets. Luckily for you, we have already done that to save you time. Bet365 have interesting looking odds for over 3.5 goals and a Barcelona win. At 10/11 it’s one of the best offers to be found for Sunday’s game. With Luis Suarez goal getting odds too short, I like the look of William Hill’s offer of 4/6 for Neymar to score anytime.
