They have wasted no time in getting accustomed to the daily hassles of the La Liga, entertaining their supporters with some scintillating piece of football on show. In fact, their quick passing game can be likened to Barcelona’s mouth-watering tiki-taka.

Head coach Diego Martinez has been receiving lots of plaudits from the fans and media alike, for the superb effort he has put into the club, and quite rightly so. His amazing understanding of the game has got his players ticking both on and off-the-pitch.

Coming up against fellow Europa League faithful Villarreal on Friday, El Grana will be required to put forth a worthwhile performance to secure a positive result against this stubborn foe. Villarreal are in dire need of points and are likely going to be going all out for the win.

Granada vs Villarreal Team News

Touted to be embroiled in a relegation battle this term, Granada have taken it upon themselves to prove the bookies wrong. Taking each game one at a time, this side have managed to amass a staggering 12 wins and 6 draws so far.

On the road to bottom-half outfit Real Betis on the last match-day, El Grana were considered outsiders for a win. However, Diego Martinez’s charges headed into the game with every intention of getting all three points on the board.

Leading 0-1 at half-time, the game was turned on its head after the restart. Real Betis fired home two quick-fire goals late on, to set themselves on the path to victory. There was to be more drama with Granada’s Soldado grabbing an equalizer, late into stoppage time to grab a much-needed point.

Villarreal, on the other hand, were looking to gain grounds on sixth-placed Atletico Madrid when they made a trip to relegation-threatened Celta Vigo last time out. It was a fiercely-contested game at the Abanca-Balaidos as both sides went all out for the win.

With a couple of gilt-edged chances created at both ends of the pitch, there was no breakthrough as scores remained level for a long time. However, a late goal from Villarreal’s Manu Trigueros helped the Yellow Submarines snatch the victory very late in the game to clinch maximum points.

Granada have been in imperious form lately, sporting a six-game unbeaten run. Their form on home soil has been impeccable as the Nasrids have managed four wins from their previous five games on this ground. At this venue, they have only lost three games all season.

Meanwhile, the Yellow Submarines have a good record of their own. They are currently on a two-game winning streak and will be looking to extend that run with a win in this fixture. That said, it is worth noting that Villarreal’s away record has been pretty mediocre – 8 losses from their 15 league excursions.

Injured or Suspended Players

Granada: Neyder Lozano, Quini, Angel Montoro, Alex Martinez, Ismail Koybasi and Alvaro Vadillo.

Villarreal: Bruno Soriano, Ramiro Funes Mori and Pau Torres.

Granada vs Villarreal Predictions

Noteworthily, Granada’s recent matches have seen goals down both ends of the pitch, highlighting their defensive frailties. As much as Martinez’s men have found goals easy to come by, they are also shipping goals on a regular basis.

Considering their imperious home record, El Grana have a real chance of clinching a positive result here. Needless to say, their players will have to be at their best to see to it that Villarreal are effectively dispatched. Fancy a narrow Granada win come the end of the final whistle.
