Granada will host Deportivo Alaves at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 La Liga campaign.
The home side have endured a poor season and are rapidly running out of time to save their top-flight status. They were beaten 1-0 by Valencia in their last match, falling behind in the 77th minute after struggling to fashion any noteworthy chances to take the lead themselves.
Granada sit 19th in the league table with just 14 points from 30 games. They are one point above last-placed Almeria and will be looking to widen that gap on Sunday.
Deportivo Alaves have had their struggles upon promotion to the Spanish top flight this season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They were beaten 1-0 by Real Sociedad last time out and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target throughout the match.
The visitors sit 13th in the league table with 32 points picked up so far and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Sunday.

Granada vs Deportivo Alaves Prediction
Granada are on an abysmal five-game losing streak and are without a win in their last 11 matches. They have won just once on home turf since last September and could struggle here.
Alaves are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have won just one of their last eight games. They have had their struggles on the road of late but should have enough firepower to win this one.
