The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of games this week as Granada take on Getafe on Thursday. Both teams have struggled this season and have a point to prove in this game.
Granada are in 16th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best this season. The hosts held Osasuna to a 1-1 draw in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Getafe, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment and have endured a dismal season. The Madrid-based outfit slumped to a 3-0 defeat against Celta Vigo over the weekend and has a point to prove in this match.
Granada vs Getafe Head-to-Head
Granada have a good record against Getafe and have won seven out of 15 matches played between the two teams. Getafe have managed three victories against Granada and will need to step up on Thursday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in May this year and ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Both teams squandered chances on the day and will need to be more clinical this week.
