Seeking to pick up a second consecutive home victory for the first time this year to secure their safety, Granada play host to Espanyol at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into the game on a run of six games without a win and will be looking to end this dry spell and close out their season on a high.
Granada suffered a fresh blow in their race against the drop as they fell to a 2-0 defeat away to Real Betis last Sunday.
Prior to that, they were on a two-game winning streak, seeing off Mallorca and Athletic Club respectively.
With 37 points from 37 games, Granada are currently 16th in the La Liga standings, one point above Cadiz in the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Espanyol failed to find their feet last time out as they could only salvage a 1-1 draw against Valencia.
They have now failed to win any of their last six outings, picking up two draws and losing four since April’s 1-0 win over Celta Vigo.
Espanyol are currently 13th in the league standings after picking up 41 points from 37 games so far.
