Team News

Granada
Almeria
  • Ignasi Miquel has picked up too many yellow cards and will be suspended for this match.
  • Kamil Piatkowski and Gonzalo Villar return from suspension.
  • Facundo Pellistri will likely start his third game in a row since joining on loan from Manchester United. He will be vital to Granada's bid for safety it seems.
  • Both Leo Baptistao and Largie Ramazani are suspended and will not be available in attack on Sunday.
  • Cesar Montes is a doubt with a knee injury but will be assessed ahead of the weekend. Gaizka Garitano will want his most important defenders for this game.

Prediction

  • Granada welcome Almeria to Estadio de los Carmenes for the most important Andalusian derby in recent memory.
  • Given Almeria's disappointing La Liga campaigns thus far, it could be argued that they would be down and relegated with a loss. They would be nine points adrift of 19th place if the hosts were to win this weekend. A Granada win would put them within four points of safety, giving them some hope that their race is not yet run.
  • The reverse fixture ended 3-3 in an end to end game in Almeria, a result that Granada have recorded three times this season. Almeria have actually won the majority share of games played between the two, but have been utterly hopeless this season when trying to win games and are prone to giving up late goals when the pressure is turned up.
