Barcelona hosts Granada CF in round 33 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, April 29th at Camp Nou (Barcelona)
Barcelona takes 3rd place in the standings (71 points after 32 rounds). The Catalans have chalked up 22 wins, five draws, and five defeats. Although Ronald Koeman's team is not leading the championship, it is the shadow favorite in the champion’s race. After the mistakes of Atletico and Real Madrid, the Catalans took 1st place in terms of lost points, outranking the Mattress Makers by one point. In case of success in the remaining six matches, the Catalans will gain victory in the tournament, regardless of the results of other teams. On Sunday, Koeman's men dealt with Villarreal (1-2) and achieved their third victory in a row. All goals were scored before the break. Samuel Chukwueze scored for the home team, but Barça responded with two accurate shots from Antoine Griezmann. From the 65th minute, the Catalans were in the majority because Manu Trigueros picked up a red card.

Granada CF is in 8th position in the LaLiga standings (42 points after 32 matches). The Red and Whites have 12 wins, six draws, and 14 defeats. Diego Martinez's club retains the mathematical chances to make it to the European cups for the second time in a row. However, it will be difficult to do this. With six rounds to go, the Nasrids are seven points behind Villarreal, which has played a match more. Beyond that, Granada has a curious streak. The club has not shared points with its opponents in the last 16 official matches. The last draw took place on February 6, when the Nasrids met with Getafe (2-2). On April 25, they extended their streak without draws after an away defeat to Sevilla (2-1). The hosts secured the advantage by the 53rd minute after the goals of Ivan Rakitic (from the penalty spot) and Lucas Ocampos. Roberto Soldado responded with his accurate shot from the penalty spot only at the end of the match.
Barcelona is close to beating Granada for the third time in a row. The Nasrids are formidable at home, but their away results are modest (three victories and three draws in 16 games). The Catalans achieved 11 wins and four draws in 16 home games and lost only to Real Madrid (1-3). There is little doubt that the Catalans will score three points in the upcoming match. At the same time, Granada is capable of sending at least one ball into the favorite's net. The Nasrids regularly score in the championship. It happened in 10 out of 11 previous rounds. Beyond that, Barça's results at Camp Nou hint at the probability of a goal scored by the visitors. The Catalans conceded in 8 out of 10 home LaLiga matches.
Prediction for the match: Granada CF to score over 0.5 goals
