Preview
Hard match for Granada tonight, the team ranked on the 19th place in Primera Division standings will met tonight one of the best soccer teams in the world, FC Barcelona, even if Jean-Sylbain belives Granada have found the formula for beating Barcelona, we belives that this will be imposible.
Granada comes after 4 matches with no victory and are in a terrible shape, the team is going down, they are second from the buttom with just 19 poins, they have only six goals at home, this is in fact the worst output of any team in Spain.
The team have recorded only one win in previous 20 league matches and it is no surprise the hosts are regarded as big underdogs in Saturday’s match against Barca.
A good news for the team is that Fran Rico and Jhon Cordoba will come back on the fiels after suspension, and also Diego Mainz will be able to performe on the start of the game.
Emanuel Insua is still serving an existing ban, while Juan Carlos, Youssef El-Arabi and Adrian Colunga join their teammate in the stands.
Barcelona by the other side is in a great shape, they won this week a very important match with the resut of 2-1 over Manchester City in the Champions League, but in the Primera Division they lost last week agains Malaga, it was a 0-1 home defeat, and because of this bad result they are now four points adrift of Real Madrid which is on the top of the standings.
Tonight Barcelona will want to change the situation of the team’s performance in Primera Divisionafter the embarrassing 1-0 loss to Malaga. Tonight in the match with Granada at Estadio Nuevo, Barcelona needs a victory. Luis Enrique’s men are now fully focused on the Granada game as they need to start a new winning run in the national championship if they are to melt Real Madrid’s four-point advantage in la Liga standings.
Once again, they will to play earlier than their title rivals, Real Madrid, so they shoul focused on this match and give no chance to the victory of Granada.
Luis Suarez impressed in the 2-1 victory over Manchester City and tonight he has another chance to make a good impresion.
Last head to head confrontation with Granada, Barcelona crush them with a 6-0 victory.
