In the previous one, the “blue” frame starts lightly as a favorite due to the existing category difference, which can be noticed at some point in the match. For this reason and even when the match is in a neutral field, we believe that Getafe can handle the ball more and win even by a goal difference. Of course, the process of the match can be fought due to the preseason that the two teams have. In the end, we trust that the people of Madrid will take advantage of the highest rank of their players to score through a specific play or through the famous stopped ball.
Granada CF:
After having completed an irregular campaign in the past Liga2, the Nasrids will seek to improve their numbers in the 2018-2019 season and fight for the longed for direct rise. With 61 points obtained, the team had a major football downturn that prevented him from sneaking into the last playoffs. In the end it was placed in the tenth position of the second division, being 4 of the sixth Numancia (17 wins, 10 draws and 15 defeats, scoring 55 goals and conceding 50 in his fence). The main objective of coach Diego Martínez is to achieve a balanced proposal like the one he showed in his previous job as DT (Osasuna). Ideally, the team should improve in defense and maintain its effectiveness in offensive matters. Only then will he be the leader of the competition and a sure competitor for a place for the Santander League 2019-2020.
In terms of signings, the leadership moved in the market and hired some players to strengthen the staff that was left to face this season. Álvaro Vadillo, Rodri Ríos, Nicolás Aguirre and Fede Vico arrived. Of course, the club is trying to lighten wages because of the lower budget it has for this campaign. Therefore, is looking to transfer some elements that the coach will not consider for this League2. If we talk about friendlies, Granada has played only two before this presentation. The first was against Marbella on July 20 and the second against Extremadura on Friday July 27 (0-2 victory after winning 0-1 in the first half). The following games that the Nasrids will play will be the following: Elche on August 5 and Cartagena on the 6th of the same month.
Getafe:
After having registered a great campaign in the last Santander League, the objective of the “blue” table is to repeat what has been done and try to classify the Europa League. His numbers were more than positive after placing in the eighth position of the table, being only 3 of the seventh Sevilla (15 wins, 10 equalities and 13 falls, scoring 42 goals and losing 33 in his fence). If we analyze the level exhibited by the squad last season we can conclude that it was effective in attack and quite solid in defensive matters. Now the goal of coach José Bordalás is to repeat what was done a few months ago, trying to make a leap in quality with the reinforcements arrived for this new stage.
Continuing with the analysis you should know that the “blue” team has signed many players for this 2018-2019 Santander League that is about to start. In this list we find the following names: Nemanja Maksimovic, Iván Alejo, David Soria and Oswaldo Alanís. As an added fact, we tell you that elements such as Markel Bergara and Leandro Cabrera stayed at the institution at the express request of the technician Bordalás. In terms of friendlies, Getafe has played three before this game. First he won 1-4 at Unión Adarve on July 20 and then scored 0-5 at Conquense on July 25. The last duel of preparation was held on Saturday 28 against CF Talavera (triumph 0-2 after equalizing 0-0 in the first half and until the 65th minute of play).
Both teams have not faced each other for some years, as Granada descended to Liga2. These have been the results obtained in their last 5 direct matches: Draw 3-3 in March 2014, equality 1-1 in December 2014, victory 1-2 of Granada in May 2015, win 1-2 of Granada in August of 2015 and victory 3-2 of Granada in January 2016.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.75
