In the last round, Granada lost away to Betis, 0:2 before winning over Mallorca and Athletic. Betis was stronger than Granada, and at the time they still had a chance of finishing in the top-4 of La Liga. Espanyol is a somewhat different level of opponent. We can't speak about high motivation compared to the Catalans. Currently, Granada is on the 16th position in the standings, one point ahead of Cadiz in the relegation zone. Victory in the upcoming game secures the southerners a place in the elite division for next season. Granada's home statistics are 19th in the division, +5=6-7, 22:29 goal difference.

Espanyol has had a good season. However, the Catalans have failed four times in their last six games, with two draws. The Perroquets have suffered defeats only on the road: from Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, and Alaves. Espanyol already has a place in the elite, and the Catalans are not very interested in the position they will end the season. Espanyol's away statistics are 19th in the division, with only eight points after 18 games, on a goal difference of 15:34. It is also worth noting that Espanyol has lost its last four away matches.

Granada can help themselves, they just need to beat unmotivated Espanyol on their field. In addition, the Catalans also have almost the worst away statistics in the division. In turn, Granada plays at the end of the season quite actively, in the last five games losing only once and earning 8 points. We have no doubt that Granada will win, plus we expect at least two goals to be scored.
