The action continues in round 23 of the Spanish La Liga as Granada and Las Palmas square off at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes on Saturday.
Garcia Pimienta’s side will be looking to complete the double over the hosts, having scraped a narrow 1-0 victory in September’s reverse fixture.
Granada were left empty handed once again as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez last Monday.
Alexander Medina’s men have now lost three games on the bounce, conceding four goals and failing to find the back of the net since a 2-0 victory over Cadiz on January 3.
With 11 points from 22 matches, Granada are currently 19th in the La Liga standings, six points behind Celta Vigo just outside the danger zone.
Elsewhere, Las Palmas were condemned to a second consecutive defeat last Friday when they were beaten 2-1 by Real Madrid at the Gran Canaria Stadium.
This followed a 2-0 friendly loss against Norwegian outfit Viking on January 22, which saw their two-game winning streak come to an end.
Las Palmas have lost nine of their 22 La Liga matches so far while claiming nine wins and four draws to collect 31 points and sit ninth in the La Liga table.
