Granada Team News
In their last competitive match, Granada lost to Real Sociedad away with a score of 5-3. The home team took the lead early in the ninth minute, but the guests managed to equalize with a 35th-minute own goal. However, Sociedad regained the lead before halftime and added to it early in the second half. In the 67th minute, they scored another goal, and nine minutes later, they increased their lead to 5-1, with Miki Bosch scoring an own goal this time. In the 83rd minute, Lucas Boye reduced the home team’s lead with an assist from Antonio Puertas, and in injury time, they scored another goal through Bryan Zaragoza, with Gonzalo Villar providing the assist this time.
Currently, they occupy the 17th position in the table with only three points from four rounds. Their only victory came against Mallorca, and before the loss to Real Sociedad, they also lost to Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Madrid.
Granada will be without the services of Jesus Vallejo and Raul Torrente on Monday evening due to injuries, as was the case against Real Sociedad before the international break.
Paco Lopez’s team finished strongly in the last match, scoring two goals in the later stages, and the second-half goalscorers, Lucas Boye and Bryan Zaragoza, are likely to retain their places in the attack. It seems there will be changes in deeper positions, with Oscar Melendo expected to be introduced in midfield, while Ricard Sanchez could play in defense.

Girona Team News
Girona won their last match against Las Palmas at home with a score of 1-0. The home team scored a goal in the 30th minute through Alex Suarez, but after VAR’s decision, the goal was disallowed due to offside. The only goal of the match was seen in the 88th minute when Yan Couto set up Portu, who placed the ball in the net.
Girona has not suffered a single defeat in the early part of the season, recording three wins and one draw. Apart from the victory over Las Palmas, they also defeated Sevilla and Getafe, while they drew with Real Sociedad.
Borja Garcia, Joel Roca, Ricard Artero, and Toni Villa will miss the match against Granada due to injuries. The hosts did not pick up any new issues against Las Palmas in the last match, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see the same eleven players on the field this time.
Artem Dovbyk continues to compete for a starting role in the center-forward position, but Cristhian Stuani has already scored two goals in the league this season and should retain his position. Portu will be in the manager’s thoughts for a spot in the starting XI, having scored the late winner against Las Palmas, although he might again be asked to make an impact off the bench

Granada vs Girona Prediction
Girona is a slight favorite in this match due to better form and their position in the table. However, Granada has the advantage of playing at home, so we can’t confidently predict a win for the guests. Therefore, our betting suggestion for this match is a draw or a Girona win, with at least two goals expected in the game, as it is expected to be an open match.
