Granada CF hosts Barcelona in round 18 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, January 9th at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes (Granada)
Last season, modest Granada managed to show good results and earn a ticket to the Europa League, where it made it to the playoff stage. Granada can be called an entirely coaching team. Diego Martinez got his charges to make serious progress, as well as perfect adherence to the plan for each game. The team is very strong from a tactical point of view. The squad is quite mature, and the average figure reaches 28 years. The coaching staff focuses on the experience of the players. Such football players as Rui Silva, Soldado, Machis, Gonalon, Luis Suarez, and Puertas are the leaders of Granada.

The Catalan grandee is holding a very uninspiring season. The failures of Koeman's wards are associated with a range of factors. They include the regression of some leaders, the overdue change of generations, and the stagnant game pattern. As a result, Barcelona is only third in the standings after 17 matches played. As usual, the Blue-Garnets are good in the attack, but the defense of the team resembles an open house. The current season for Barça could be a turning point in history, as Messi, Busquets, Pique, and other veterans will be replaced by a new generation of young stars. Its outlines are already visible - Pedri, Fati, Trincao, Pug, Araujo, Firpo, Dest. These promising footballers get a lot of playing practice with the arrival of Ronald Koeman on the coaching bridge. And they show a mature level of the game.
Last season, Granada beat the Catalans in their arena (2:0), creating one of the main sensations of the championship. This result can hardly be considered a regularity. The level of the game and the potential of players are incomparable. Koeman's charges have gained good shape. They regularly beat their competitors and improve their situation in the standings. Therefore, we offer you to bet on the away success of Barcelona in a difficult match, where the opponent will build two lines of defense.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win
