Cartagena
Granada has struggled for consistency this season, but one thing they can rely on is their strong home form.
Currently, they are on a positive run at home, going three matches unbeaten.
Impressively, they have kept clean sheets in two of those games, scoring six goals in the process.
Today, they face Cartagena, one of the poorest performing sides away from home.
Cartagena has suffered six consecutive defeats on their travels, with their last away win dating back to September 30, 2024, against Santander (1:2).
Cartagena's struggles are evident across the board. They find it difficult to score goals and are prone to conceding heavily in away games. In 10 matches, their goal difference stands at a disappointing 8:19.
In their most recent head-to-head meeting last season, Granada secured a narrow 1:0 victory thanks to a goal from their top striker, Uzuni.
What we say
Granada to Win
Granada has shown some vulnerability at the back, conceding 12 goals at home this season. However, given Cartagena's lack of attacking threat, it's unlikely they will trouble Granada's defense.
When comparing the strikers, Granada boasts the league's second-best scorer, Uzuni, with 11 goals to his name. In contrast, Cartagena relies on Munoz, who has managed just 3 goals and 2 assists this season.
The gap in quality between the two sides, both individually and collectively, is significant. Considering Granada's current form and their need for points to climb the table, a home win seems the most likely outcome.
