Granada vs Alaves Prediction
Nazaríes have won six of their last seven meetings against the visitors, including both their meetings in La Liga last season. They will look to make the most of their home advantage as they are undefeated at home this season and have kept clean sheets in their last five games.
Alaves have suffered just one defeat in the Segunda Division this season, with that win coming in their away game against Burgos in October. They have failed to score in two of their last four away games and might struggle here.
Considering the recent history between the two teams, a win for Alaves seems unlikely and the two teams are expected to play out a draw.
