The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Getafe lock horns with Granada at the Los Carmenes Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have struggled in recent weeks and will need to step up to the plate in this fixture.
Getafe are in 16th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and have endured a difficult campaign. The Madrid-based outfit has managed to avoid relegation this season and will want to make a statement of intent this weekend.
Granada, on the other hand, have slumped after a strong start to their campaign and are currently in 10th place in the league table. The home side suffered a crushing 4-2 defeat at the hands of Deportivo Alaves last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
