Granada vs Valencia Betting Tips and Predictions 

Gary Neville may have earnt himself some more time with a 2-1 win against Espanyol last weekend, his first in La Liga. With 20 minutes to go the Englishman must have been thinking he could be out of a job the following morning but quick-fire goals from Alvaro Negredo and Denis Cheryshev turned the game on its head. They built on that with a thumping 6-0 win against Rapid Wien on Thursday in Europe and will take some real momentum into this game.

Granada are battling the drop yet again and have lost their last 3 matches in the league and 7 of their last 8 in all competitions. They are now rock bottom after Levante’s win on Friday but could move out of the bottom 3 if they can pick up all the points from this one although they’d certainly have rather faced Valencia a couple of weeks earlier.

Reason for Betting Tips

The significance of last weekend’s win for Valencia can not be understated and they played as though a weight had been lifted on Thursday when they showed the quality that this squad undoubtedly possesses by hammering the Austrians. These sides met in the Copa del Rey last month and Valencia ran out convincing 7-0 aggregate winners including a 3-0 win in Granada so they have happy recent memories of the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmones. Therefore backing Valencia in the ‘Draw No Bet’ market at 8/11 really appeals here.
