Team Form & Recent Performances

Granada CF

• 2024/25 Record: 16W, 9D, 12L in La Liga 2 (57 points, 5th); 2023/24 La Liga 19th with 4W, 9D, 25L

Granada are charging at Los Cármenes like a Nazaries bull—four wins in their last six, their Deportivo comeback a gritty display with Myrto Uzuni’s late strike, per sportskeeda.com.

Their home form is a fortress (1.89 goals scored, 1 conceded per game), with 8/10 home games seeing goals, per mybets.today. Fran Escribá’s side, sparked by Uzuni’s 11 goals, is one point off the promotion playoffs, but Giorgi Tsitaishvili’s suspension (yellow cards) and injuries to Luca Zidane (shoulder) and Juanpe (knee) could test them, per mightytips.com. Their 4-1 thrashing of Cartagena in December showed firepower, but a 1-0 loss to Málaga exposed road fragility, per footballpredictions.com. Fan buzz online hails their home strength, with some predicting a playoff push, per web chatter.

Eibar are stumbling like a Los Armeros side out of ammo—six without a win, their Levante loss a low point with no shots on target, per footballwhispers.com.

Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Granada’s 4-2-3-1 is a balanced blade—Uzuni leads, Trigueros and Sergio Ruiz create, averaging 50% possession and 10 shots per game, per nlbpredictions.com. Tsitaishvili’s suspended, Zidane and Juanpe are out, with Ricard Sánchez and Miguel Rubio stepping up, per mightytips.com. They’ll exploit Eibar’s 1.3 goals conceded with Uzuni’s finishing, leveraging their 1.89 home goals average, but 3/5 games conceding hint at risks, per mybets.today. Eibar’s 4-2-3-1 is a counter-punching scrapper—Puertas and Jorge Pascual (4 goals) attack, Corpas and Sergio Álvarez graft, averaging 48% possession and 9 shots per game, per sportsgambler.com. Arbilla, Chema, Bautista, and Troncho are out, with Aritz Arambarri and Cristian Gutiérrez filling in, per footballpredictions.com. They’ll target Granada’s 1.1 goals conceded with Puertas’ runs, but their 7/10 away games under 2.5 goals and six-game winless streak temper hopes, per mybets.today. Los Cármenes’ 19,000 fans will be a red-and-white storm—I can smell the Granada heat already. Granada’s 9/18 home wins and 2/3 home H2H wins give them an edge, but Eibar’s 3/5 H2H BTTS and survival fight suggest a draw, per oddspedia.com. Web buzz and posts on X lean toward Granada at 2.25 odds, with a first-half draw tipped at 2.00, per oddspedia.com.
