Granada successfully started in the last championship of Spain, where they took the seventh place in the right to play in the Europa League. The “red-whites” extended their success in the major league at the stage of the group stage, where they took second place after PSV in a fairly strong group with PAOK and Omonia. It is noteworthy that the “Grana” conceded only three goals, which is the best indicator of the tournament. The start in the new La Liga championship can also be called quite successful. In 17 rounds Diego Penas’s wards won seven victories and drew three times, which brought 24 points and the seventh position. The gap from the European competition zone is six points. Last calendar year the Narsida ended with a home success over Valencia (2:1), but the Andalusian club started 2021 unsuccessfully, having a fiasco with Eibar (0:2) and Barcelona (0:4). The team’s weakest link is the offensive line, which has scored 19 times. That is the worst result in the top eight. There is only Lozano in the team’s infirmary, who has a leg injury. Vallejo is on red card suspension.
Magpies are now also not in the best shape. Newcastle tried to fight Arsenal in the FA Cup this week. The team held out in regulation time, but in extra time they laid down their arms with a score of 0:2. This failure was only a continuation of the losing streak of Steve Bruce’s charges. In the Premier League the Magpies have not won in the last five rounds in a row, in three of which the team was defeated. Moreover, in recent matches Newcastle hardly scores. Within three previous matches only one goal was scored. At the moment, Newcastle have settled in 15th place in the Premier League standings, having an advantage of eight points over the relegation zone. As for the away matches, they managed to win in the last four only against Crystal Palace (2:0). At the same time they lost to the Magpies during this period to Southampton (0:2), Manchester City (0:2) and Leeds (2:5). Only defender Jamal Lewis is in the club’s infirmary. Allan Saint-Maximin and Ryan Fraser are in question. More scientific football prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
