      Valencia vs Granada Predictions

       

      The hosts were in action at the Mestalla at the weekend when they twice fought back to draw 2-2 against Real Madrid, a result which helped lead to the dismissal of Rafa Benitez. The former Valencia boss might be a contender for a return to the club in the near future but for now it’s Gary Neville in charge and his only win so far came in this competition against Barakaldo in the last round.

      Granada come into the game on the back of a huge victory over Sevilla in La Liga at the weekend and a result that lifted them out of the relegation zone. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches now so come into the game with a bit of confidence but were reliant on away goals to see off lower league Leganes in the last round.

      The priority for Granada is unquestionably survival and we are likely to see wholesale changes from them here. Valencia will make changes too but with the club down in 10th place in the league, this competition could turn out to be their best route into Europe this season not to mention a long over-due piece of silverware.

      Gary Neville would certainly love to add that to his CV and although he is likely to mix things up a bit, he will be determined to win this tie. He hasn’t quite managed to get his defence organised yet though and Valencia have conceded in 12 of their last 13 matches in all competitions and given both teams have scored in all of Granada’s last 7 away games, backing that to be the case again at 11/10 certainly appeals.

      Valencia with home advantage against a weakened Granada side should be able to seal the win although they aren’t playing well enough to really rack up a big margin so consider backing a 2-1 home victory at 15/2.
