Sevilla vs Granada Betting Tips & Predictions

This is a massive game for Granada, which primarily explains why they have been made favourites here with little riding on it for Sevilla who may rest players following their Europa League win over Shakhtar on Thursday which fired them into their 3rd consecutive final in that competition.

The visitors come into the match in 16th but just 1 point above the relegation zone with only 2 games to play. Given they host a Barcelona side, who will almost certainly need a win to secure the title next weekend, this game almost has the feel of a ‘must win’ match for Granada as they are surely going to need at least 3 more points to have a chance of staying up and this is clearly the better chance of getting them. Granada have only lost 2 of their last 8 matches in La Liga and they’ve won 2 of their last 3 thanks to a 5-1 win over Levante and 3-2 win over Las Palmas. Both those successes were at home though and they have lost 9 of their last 11 away games.

Sevilla are likely to make some changes given they still have two cup finals to play and have already qualified for Europe via the league. However they do have a big squad and will still send out a side that is well capable of winning this match. Sevilla’s home record is sensational. They’ve won 19 of their last 22 home matches and in their final home game of the season before those big showpiece occasions, their fans will be out in force and the players will be hungry to reward them with a win.

Just because Sevilla are likely to rest players and because Granada need the win doesn’t necessarily mean they will get it. Had this game been a month ago, Granada may well have been as long as around 6/1 to win this so backing them at 6/4 just does not appeal whatsoever and surely the value here is to be found by backing Sevilla Draw No Bet at Evens.
