The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action this weekend with another round of fixtures as Valencia lock horns with Granada at the Mestalla Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have been impressive at times this season and will want to win this game.
Granada are currently in eighth place in the La Liga standings at the moment and have exceeded expectations this season. The away side progressed to the quarterfinals of the Europa League during the week and will want to make a statement in this fixture.
Valencia, on the other hand, have failed to justify their potential this season and have flattered to deceive in the league. Los Che suffered a damaging defeat against local rivals Granada in their previous game and cannot afford to drop points in this match.
Valencia vs Granada Head-to-Head
Valencia have an excellent record against Granada and have won 13 games out of a total of 18 matches played between the two teams. Granada have managed only two victories against Valencia and need to be at their best in this match.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in December last year and ended in a 2-1 victory for Granada. Valencia were well below their best on the day and cannot afford a similar result this weekend.
