Granada has only hosted Villarreal six times since 2001, winning three and drawing two in that span. Granada have been strong at home and have the 5th best home record and are unbeaten in their last five. That strength at home has been due in part to Granada’s strength defensively, they have allowed the 2nd fewest goals at home in La Liga. Villarreal have performed admirably away from home and have the 7th best road record, where they have scored the 4th most goals away. With these two sides being evenly matched a draw looks likely in this one.

Sevilla enter this match following a 1-1 draw away at Levante on the weekend. Sevilla now sit in 3rd, with a two point lead on 4th place. The hosts are expected to be at full strength for this one

Jordi Alba returns from his suspension while Samuel Umtiti will sit this one out on suspension. Frenkie de Jong will be unavailable as he continues to work his way back from a calf injury.
Barcelona’s previous visits to the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, winning four and drawing one. Sevilla are unbeaten in eight, while Barcelona are winners of three straight. These sides compare evenly and both will be pushing hard for points to hold off the teams chasing them. This may be one of the few times all year bettors will see Barcelona at odds this high, so bettors will be forgiven for backing them on that basis alone. This looks to be a close match that can go either way.
