Granada v Valencia

Granada vs Valencia Preview

Granada slumped to a fourth league defeat on the trot in the Spanish top flight over the weekend when they were handed a 1-0 loss away from home at fellow La Liga strugglers Cadiz, leaving Thursday night's hosts in deep trouble down near the foot of the La Liga table while Valencia remained in eighth place in the standings following a 0-0 stalemate at home against Mallorca on the weekend.

Previous defeats at the hands of Villarreal, Real Sociedad and Mallorca have also contributed to Granada's further misery in what has been a disastrous campaign in La Liga which has resulted in Granada and bottom club Almeria being cast adrift at the bottom of the table and now almost certainly facing relegation down to La Liga 2.

Granada have now failed to win any of their last 10 matches overall in the domestic top flight and having slipped to no fewer than seven defeats within this period as well, the hosts look set for further disappointment on Thursday night when they welcome top half outfit Valencia to their Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes.

Granada have managed to capture just two wins in total throughout this season's wretched campaign while also being handed 19 defeats within their total of 29 games played to date this term.

Valencia were involved in a dour 0-0 stalemate upon their return to La Liga action following the recent international break and this result only further extended the visitors' inconsistent sequence of results as Ruben Baraja's side have managed to capture just two wins from their previous eight games overall.

Those two victories came in the form of wins against Almeria and Getafe which were both recorded on home soil at their Estadio de Mestalla while also being handed three defeats within this period following losses on the road at Atletico Madrid, Las Palmas and Villarreal respectively.

Valencia have also picked up three points in the process as the visitors have been involved in three draws within this period as well, but despite their apparent downturn in form, Valencia still look to possess enough quality about them to grab the all-important three points here on Thursday night.

Results on the road have actually been even worse for Baraja's side as they have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 13 outings on the road along with being dealt eight defeats along the way, so they will certainly be keen to set the record straight at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes on Thursday night.

Granada v Valencia Verdict

Despite some inconsistent performances in recent times, Valencia still look the more likely to take the spoils in this clash as the visitors have won three of the last four meetings against Granada.
