Villarreal - Granada predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.68, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Villarreal and the 5.13 odds given to Granada to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

The 1:3 result of The Yellow Submarine’s previous outing was quite surprising, to say the least. Playing as visitors against heavily favoured Real Sociedad , they secured a lead in the first half against a far stronger opponent, catching them by surprise.

The draw from Granada’s previous game was relatively predictable, though their home supporters are likely still disappointed. That said, online bookmakers saw them as evenly matched with Valencia, who were playing as the visitors. Still, an HT/FT draw is never a good look if you’re trying to please the fans.

The crowd at Estadio de la Cerámica can’t be unhappy with their offensive abilities – they scored 9 times over their latest three home games.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

The visitors are well on their way towards relegation unless they can close the 4 -point difference before it’s too late. We’re already at round 27, though, and they’re heading into a very unfavourable matchup.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Villarreal’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Juan Foyth, Pedraza, Denis Suárez, Ramón Terrats for the hosts, and Antonio Puertas, Jesús Vallejo, Bruno Méndez for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The 888Sport sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 2.25, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
