Last match of Wednesday in Spanish football sees Granada hosts Levante. La Liga fifth round.
Granada got a magnificent 1-0 win at Bilbao in the weekend and it came to confirm the good start of the season for Granada … 7th place, undefeated, 2 wins, 2 draws and only 2 goals allowed. Granada plays same kind of football as in last seasons … defensive, good discipline and tactical consistency. They are very good at home and the Levante match comes in a good time for them, they are big favorites and can move as high as second place with 3 points. For today Granada can field the best lineup, they are free of injuries and suspensions.
After a good season last year Levante sold some key players and unfortunately the results are showing … just 1 point in first 4 rounds, poor football and especially horrible performance in offense … Levante did not score a single goal so far! In the weekend Levante lost 5-0 at home to Barcelona and team is in deep crisis. They have a massive job to do today because they miss a lot of players and they don’t have depth to cover for them: Ivan, Martins, Navarro, Karabelas, Adoua, Juanfran, Gavilan and Vyntra are all out!
In normal circumstances Granada can’t be backed at 1.50 in La Liga, against anyone, no matter how good form they have … but today looking at Levante it is very hard to imagine them getting something. Levante is dirt poor, can’t score a goal to save their lives and with all those injured players I don’t know what kind of lineup they can send on the pitch. Considering Granada’s excellent defensive approach and the fact that Levante has not scored a single goal, the logical bet is Granada to win to nil. The home court advantage will help them achieve that feat. The handicap is a little risky so my tip will be Granada to win to nil … and the odds are almost the same for this pick as for the -1,5 handicap. Correct score prediction: Granada – Levante 2-0.
