Eldense had been almost forgotten in the higher divisions for nearly fifty years, spending most of that time in the fourth tier. However, their resurgence in 2023 saw them rise through the ranks, earning promotion to La Liga 2. Their first season back in the Segunda since 1964 was a success, as they secured a 16th place finish, far better than many expected.
However, their second season has been a different story. After the summer break, Dani Pons and his team have been struggling with the typical challenges of a “second season,” having lost most of their matches so far. This has seen them plummet down the table. Despite a promising cup run, which was eventually halted by Valencia, their league form has been lackluster, with draws becoming increasingly rare. On a positive note, they did manage to secure a crucial win against Tenerife in the last round.
Granada has experience competing on the European stage, notably in the Europa League, where they performed admirably, even making it to the tournament’s playoffs. The club enjoyed significant international exposure, often exchanging players with other top European clubs, including Watford in England and Udinese in Italy. However, their attempt to re-establish themselves in La Liga in 2023 failed, and they found themselves relegated back to La Liga 2 after a disappointing campaign.
In their push for a return to the top tier, Granada placed their trust in Fran Escribá. Despite some standout performances from players like Uzuni, the team has been slow to meet the high expectations set for them. In recent weeks, they have struggled to secure victories, with draws becoming more frequent. However, they delivered a much-needed and unexpected win against Sporting Gijón, which gave the team a much-needed boost.
