Exactly 80 years ago “Granada” made its debut in Primera, but since then the team has never risen above sixth place. After returning “Grana” pleases its fans with excellent results and is preparing for the start in the spring part of the Europa League. Following a successful start in the Spanish Cup, where the Narcids knocked out San Juan (2:0), Leonesa (2:1), Malaga (2:1) and Navalcarnero (6:0) in the quarterfinals, the wards of Diego Penas got into rivals Barcelona, ??which played with the team in regulation time, but already dealt a fatal blow in the extra time (5:3). For 22 rounds of the current season, the red-white-blue won eight victories and six world ones, which brought 30 points and eighth place in the standings. On January 12-th the Andalusian club beat Osasuna at home (2:0) and drew three times with Villarreal (2:2), Celta (0:0) and Levante (2:2). It should be noted that hosts had an unfortunate result in the attack line, which hit the opponents’ goal 26 times, which is the worst indicator in the first dozen of La Liga. Lozano, Brice, Miglia and Queenie, who has a knee injury, will not be able to enter the pitch today. Herrera is isolated with coronavirus.
Regular season from Clifford’s charges, who are in third place since the end of the Eastern Conference, is inexpressive. 36% of winning results and a long tournament distance ahead give Magic fans hope for a successful season (getting to the playoffs will be a good result). In the last 5 games of the regular championship, Orlando won only 1 victory (Chicago Bulls) with 4 defeats. The composition of modern Orlando does not allow the club to claim great results, as the team lacks star performers. Plus, Gordon, Isaac, Carter-Williams, Fournier and Fultz are now injured, which is a serious personnel blow to the team. This season the leading performers of Magic include Vucevic, Anthony, Ross and Ennis.
