Granada vs Sevilla Preview Prediction
Granada enters this match without a win in La Liga since 2017 when they were relegated to Segunda. However, there is so much rave about their style of play and will be an enjoyment to watch.
Meanwhile, Sevilla looks to continue their streak when they face their fellow Andalusian side. Additionally, they were one of the few teams to make an extraordinary change to their roster bringing several named players from other leagues.
Additionally, they have a young core with desire to win and show that they can compete for a Top Four finish.
