Granada CF hosts Mallorca in round 19 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, January 5th at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes (Granada)
The hosts spent their last season in Segunda. Having got to the main championship of Spain, Granada made a lot of noise, and even top clubs suffered from it. From the start of the championship, the team managed to climb to the top of the standings, to second place. It stayed there for a rather long time. It was really enchanting because the team that just came from the lower league managed to achieve such success. Truth be told, Granada did not endure the pace of LaLiga; the club gradually lost points and slowly went down. Now the team is already in 11th place. There are many reasons for this decline in the game level. Firstly, if you look at the calendar, you can see that Granada played against the weakest clubs at the start, which is why it managed to win one game after another. Nevertheless, there was one very strong rival, and this was a real success. Granada met with Barcelona at home and beat it with a 2:0 score. The second reason for the recession is a simple lack of strength in the squad. The team began to punish everyone very friskily, thereby spending a lot of strength. And when the team began to play against strong opponents, it was already exhausted. Recently, success is clearly not on the side of Granada because it suffers one defeat after another. It lost to Eibar in the last match with a crushing score (0:3).

Mallorca also spent last season in the lower league. It managed to beat two rivals in the promotion playoffs and still got to LaLiga. So far, it’s not clear whether it needed it or not because Mallorca does not look very confident in the main championship. The team hung on the edge of the relegation zone, entering and leaving it. Today it takes 17th place. The team has huge problems in the defensive line. This club has one of the worst defenses. There are no special achievements in the attack either, but the work is visible. Currently, Mallorca has four wins, three draws, and 11 losses. The team has a leader - this is the Croatian striker Ante Budimir, who managed to score six goals this season. By the way, the rivals the team managed to overcome are far from the weakest in the championship. Mallorca managed to cope with Real Madrid with a minimum score. After that, the Islanders managed to beat Villarreal with a 3:1 score. Since the beginning of winter, the team has not managed to gain a single victory. The club played its last match against Sevilla and lost (0-2).
The bookmakers believe that Granada will win the upcoming game and confirms this by a lower coefficient. Granada has every chance of winning in this match. This team has a slightly stronger lineup, and as you can see, its performance is many times better. And I think the Nasrids will manage to cope with such a team at home.
Prediction for the match: Granada CF to win
