Granada vs Valencia Odds
Granada Team News
After failing to win any of their last nine games under the leadership of Alexander Medina, Granada decided to make another move, replacing the 45-year-old coach with Jose Ramon Sandoval, who had been out of work since leaving Fuenlabrada in May 2022. Sandoval has experience in rescuing Granada, earning 10 points in the last four matches of the 2014/15 season to help the club retain their top-flight status.
However, his hopes of orchestrating another unexpected survival attempt have already suffered a significant blow, after he began his second term with a narrow 1-0 defeat on Friday, away to relegation rivals Cadiz. As a result of that disappointing game, Granada has now lost four consecutive matches, extending their winless streak to 10 games in La Liga.
Having only managed to secure two wins in the league throughout the season, the Nazaries will need to make up a considerable 14-point gap to safety in their final nine matches to avoid an immediate return to the second division. Unfortunately for Granada, they might find it challenging to secure all three points on Thursday, considering they have failed to win any of their last four encounters with Valencia since a 2-1 victory in December 2020.
Granada still doesn’t have the services of Jesus Vallejo, while it’s unlikely that Myrto Uzuni will play after being left on the bench against Cadiz due to an Achilles tendon problem. Lucas Boye played the entire game on Friday despite his injury, and the forward is a major doubt for Thursday’s match. Matias Arezo could be given the opportunity to lead the attack if Boye isn’t fit, and there could also be starting spots for Gerard Gumbau and Facundo Pellistri.
Valencia Team News
After earning 41 points from 29 matches, Valencia is just one point away from matching their total points tally from the 2022/23 season. Despite visible progress in Ruben Baraja’s first full season in charge, Valencia has lost momentum in the battle for European football in recent weeks.
Los Che played to a goalless draw in Saturday’s home match against Mallorca, leaving them with just one win from their last six matches. Despite trailing by eight points behind the top six teams, Valencia could still realistically secure European qualification if Athletic Bilbao defeats Mallorca in Saturday’s Copa del Rey final.
An Athletic victory would likely open up seventh place as a spot in the Europa Conference League, which would certainly interest Valencia, who are only one point behind the top seven. Although they have lost their last three away games without scoring, Los Che can take confidence from their success on their recent trip to Andalusia in January when they defeated Cadiz 4-1.
As for absences, forward Roman Yaremchuk is sidelined after sustaining a tendon injury in the first 20 minutes of Saturday’s match against Mallorca. Yaremchuk’s absence could give Diego Lopez the opportunity to start in attack alongside Valencia’s top scorer, Hugo Duro. Defenders Jose Gaya and Mouctar Diakhaby remain unavailable, but Sergi Canos may return to the squad after missing the weekend due to injury.

Granada vs Valencia Prediction
Even though Valencia may have experienced a dip in form in recent weeks, we believe they will have enough quality to secure a favorable result against Granada, who are low on confidence following a 10-game winless streak. However, we anticipate that it won’t be easy for them, especially playing away from home. Additionally, we expect the match to be closely contested, with few goals scored. Therefore, our betting suggestion is a draw or Valencia’s win, with a maximum of three goals scored throughout the game.
