Barcelona – Granada

Barcelona will be looking to return to winning ways after their Champions League mauling in midweek as they host Granada at the Camp Nou on Monday. Although they are undefeated in La Liga after three rounds of matches, their latest results don’t inspire a lot of confidence. After dispatching Real Sociedad 4-2 on the opening day, Barcelona settled for a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao. They subsequently scraped past Getafe, beating them 2-1.

Meanwhile, their Monday night opponents Granada are yet to taste victory after four La Liga matches. They have drawn two and lost two and despite all of Barcelona’s struggles, Granada might turn out to be too meek an opponent for them. They lost 4-0 to Rayo Vallecano and 2-1 to Real Betis in their latest outings and will have their work cut out for them against Barcelona.

In 17 meetings between the two sides, Barcelona have won 14 while Granada have won just three. The Catalans should be able to pull off a win here with the kind of talent they still have in their ranks.
