Sevilla vs. Granada 4/8/22 LaLiga Soccer Pick, Predictions, and Odds

Sevilla is hosting Granada at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in round 31 of the Spanish LaLiga. Sevilla has lost second place, they have lost to Barcelona last weekend, but they are still the best defensive team in the league. Granada is not a great team, they are not scoring a lot of goals, and they are still very close to the relegation zone.

Sevilla is now on a bad streak, they are without a win in their last 4 games, but they have 2 draws during this streak. With 57 points, Sevilla is now in 4^th place, they have scored 40 goals, but they are still the best defensive team in the league with only 20 conceded goals. During this 4-game streak without a win, Sevilla has scored only 1 goal, while they have conceded 4 goals, and they need to get out of this slump as soon as possible. There are a few tough games left for Sevilla to play for the rest of the season, but they are certainly good enough to get back into the top 3, but there is no way they can catch up to Real Madrid at the top of the table. Maybe if Sevilla has had a bit more offense, they would be more competitive, but winning something solely with good defense doesn’t happen often.

Granada is undefeated in their last 3 games, while they also have 2 wins in those 3 games. With 29 points, Granada is now only 3 points above the relegation zone. Granada is averaging slightly over 1 scored goal per game this season, while they are conceding over 1.5 goals per game. Molina is the leading goalscorer for Sevilla with 8 goals, while Suarez has added 7 goals. Rochina has added 4 assists. The injury list is long for Granada, and some important players are on it, but Granada seems to be playing better without them. There is no easy game for Granada, and they still have to play against Atletico Madrid, Celta, and Betis, and the final period of the season will be hard for them. A lot of teams are playing badly in LaLiga right now, and that is good for Granada because they will secure their spot easier.

The trends are on Sevilla’s side in this matchup, and despite being in bad form right now, Sevilla is the better team here. Sevilla is still undefeated at home, and I think it will stay that way.
