Barcelona vs Granada Prediction 11.02.2024

• Competition: LaLiga
• Date: 11.02.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys (Barcelona)

It’s highly unlikely that Barcelona will achieve 1st place in LaLiga this season, as Real Madrid have already pulled ahead by 8 points. With 15 rounds remaining this season, this is a significant lead. Despite Barcelona’s recent improvement in form following their Copa del Rey elimination, and looking ahead to their upcoming Champions League knockout matches, it seems their focus is shifting. While finishing 2nd in LaLiga would be favourable, the 3rd and 4th positions also offer entry into next season’s Champions League.

The situation for Granada appears quite bleak, with the club currently in the 19th position, just one spot above the bottom. They are trailing behind Mallorca, Celta, and Sevilla by 8 points, all of whom are safely out of the danger zone. The odds are heavily stacked against them, with over a 95% probability that they will be relegated to a lower league next season. Their performance has been particularly dismal on the road, having lost 13 out of their last 14 away games. This clearly indicates that they lack the caliber to compete effectively at this level. They managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Las Palmas in a recent evenly matched game after a long drought of wins. Out of 11 away games this season, Granada has only been able to secure a single point.

Barcelona vs Granada pick: BARCELONA TO COVER AH -1.5

The club from Camp Nou has failed to secure a victory against Granada in their last two home matches. Furthermore, they’ve been unable to defeat this adversary in the past four LaLiga games, marking one of their worst records against any Spanish team in recent years. It’s likely that Barcelona’s players will keep this in mind, recognizing there’s no room for underestimation, despite Granada’s current position at the bottom of the league. Granada has managed to score only once in their last eight away games, displaying a demoralized team. This could be a perfect opportunity for Barcelona to emphatically defeat their rival. We are anticipating a victory for Barcelona with a minimum margin of two goals, though the gap could potentially be larger.
