Sevilla Vs Granada Preview
In another thrilling football contest, Sevilla FC are set to host Granada CF on the last day of the 34th match week in La Liga. The game is scheduled to take place at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on 5th May, Sunday. The two teams will enter this contest with different agendas as we are already at the business end of the 2023-24 season.
Sevilla FC, led by Quique Sánchez Flores, are fighting hard to find a rhythm in the league as they have struggled all season long to back their “heavyweights” tag. With only 9 wins and 11 draws, Palanganas are not in the top 10 teams in the points table. They are 5 points behind 10th-placed Getafe, with only five games remaining in the calendar year. A win at home on the upcoming Sunday might lift their confidence.
After starting the season poorly, Sevilla has experienced inconsistency and failed to regain a top-six position, which is surprising. And now they are set to face a Granada team that is pumped following their performance last week in La Liga. The hosts will head into this Sunday’s match riding on a fighting 1-1 draw against Real Betis and will hope to ignite the same fighting spirit against Granada as well.
For Granada CF, they might feel relaxed after an impressive 3-0 victory against Osasuna in La Liga. Their manager, José Ramón Sandoval, will now want his team to give their all in their remaining five fixtures, aiming to climb the table and avoid potential relegation from La Liga. Granada CF finds themselves sitting in the 19th spot in the points table, with 10 points behind the 17th-ranked Celta de Vigo. They now hope to win all their games and for the Vigo-based outfit to drop points. Meanwhile, let’s have a look at the team news of both camps before this exciting Sunday’s encounter in La Liga.

Prominent players such as Oliver, Nemanja Gudelj, Marko Dmitrovic, Luis Da Silva, Isaac Romero, and Adria Pedrosa are all sidelined for an extended period due to injuries, with their return dates still unknown. However, their star winger, Suso, who is serving a La Liga suspension, is poised to return to action on May 6th. He will also miss out on this fixture.

Sevilla Vs Granada Prediction
The last five games between these two teams have always produced winners. Many are of the view that this La Liga fixture on Sunday will also be no different, given the current form and hunger of the Spanish sides. The hosts, Sevilla, are eyeing to return to winning ways after a draw last weekend. Their main forward, Youssef En-Nesyri is in red-hot form and has already netted 12 goals and recorded two assists for them in the Spanish top division. Both Isaac Romero Bernal and Ocampos are also enjoying life at Sevilla as they have amassed 8 goals and 6 assists combinedly.
For the visitors, they will rely on their star finisher, Uzuni who has had an impressive season so far. The forward has 11 goals and one assist to his name and will be a constant threat for the Sergio Ramos-led Sevilla defense. Granada will try to continue their winning momentum in La Liga after thrashing Osasuna a week ago. They also will aim for the revenge of their 0-3 defeat against Sevilla in the first meeting of this fixture.
However, according to the current assessment, Sevilla are the favorites to emerge victorious at home, given their impressive track record in front of the home crowd. They are too good to be beaten by the 19th-ranked Granada at the moment, despite the visitors showing sparks of potential in their previous game. It will be an uphill task for the travelers to edge past a formidable Sevilla side. However, as football is an unpredictable sport, they can not be underestimated ahead of the game.
