Match Preview:
Villarreal Preview:
Villarreal, will enter the match off the back of a 4-1 win over Zamora in the second round of the Copa del Rey on Tuesday, and 0-4 win against Celta Vigo on away trip. Unai Emery made the changes for the contest but his team were still far too strong for the Segunda Division B side. The Yellow Submarine recorded a 2-1 victory over Levante in the league last weekend, meanwhile, to move onto 32 points for the season, which has left them in the fourth position in the table.
Granada Preview:
Los Granadinos suffered three defeats in the previous four league fixtures, and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the postponed clash. Jesus Vallejo is banned for the match, while Neyder Lozano remains in the recovery room. At the last match, Granada beat Osasuna n the home field 2-0. Which brings them a little satisfaction moving forward, but will it be enough? El Grana remain seventh in Spain’s top flight, having picked up 27 points from their 18 matches, but the fact that they have already lost seven times this season is a concern for a team chasing a European finish.

Match Prediction:
Villarreal’s home record and Granada’s away record both speak for themselves, and the two teams will be out to prove a point after only scraping by against lower-league opposition at the weekend. This should be a fascinating battle between two clubs with a common goal of European qualification, but we are struggling to look past Villarreal on their own turf and expect Emery’s men to make it five out of five in 2021 this week.
We say: Villarreal 3-1 Granada
