Week 31 brings us a match on Apr 8th, where Sevilla will host Granada in a clash of these two extremely mismatched La Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, 4th placed Sevilla, recorded a 0-1 loss against Barcelona. Pedro Gonzalez Lopez scored the first goal for Barcelona in the 72nd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Sevilla was frustrated by Barcelona’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Barcelona ended the match with the shutout victory. Sevilla is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while granada sits at 16th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-2 draw against Rayo Vallecano. Alejandro Catena struck first for Rayo Vallecano in the 6th minute, then Sergi Guardiola added another in the 17th minute on a feed from Alvaro Garcia Rivera . Granada looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches.
Granada and Sevilla last played eachother at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes on Oct 3rd. Granada won by a score of 1 to 0 in front of almost 15000 spectators. Rochina struck first for Granada in the 25th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Sevilla couldn’t manage to score, and Granada took the shutout win.
Jaume Doménech and Luis Javier Suárez are the top scorers for Granada in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Sevilla hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last 5 matches are Munir and Thomas Delaney, and they each have 1 goal
