Xavi Hernandez’s men are hoping for a third straight domestic win over Grenade, penultimate classified. The match, which will take place this Sunday at the Estadio Luis Companys (21:00, M+ LaLiga), is incredible for the Blaugranas, as they will be able to add three more points and continue to fight for the top position.

Granada, with the need to add

The Andalusian team arrives at the Luis Companys Olympic Stadium in penultimate place in the league and with a commitment to join at any cost so as not to miss the fight for salvation. Granada currently sit eight points behind the last team to leave the relegation zone, Mallorca, as they have won just two games this season. At the start of the year they scored their second win of the season at home, but after defeating Cadiz they only added one point.

To cope with this situation, the Granaders worked in the offices and became the team with the most signings in this winter market, with up to 10 new faces in the dressing room. A historic record in this transfer window. Two goalkeepers, two central defenders, a left back, a defensive player, two left wingers, a right winger and a center forward arrived in Granada with the sole purpose of saving the category. However, the Andalusians also lost their star: Brian Zaragoza. The Malaga man had to travel to Bayern Munich early and left Granada’s attack a bit of an orphan.
