ALL TIMES CET
Granada v Celta (12:00)
Granada were unrecognisable last week at the Camp Nou, putting in an intelligent and committed display in holding Barcelona until the last few minutes. The 2-0 final score was unjust. Borja Gómez and Iñigo López were heroic in defence, and the pairing ahead of Mikel Rico and Iriney made life very uncomfortable for the Barça players entering their zone.
But then we have the evidence of the rest of the season to take into account. And it’s not pretty. For Celta’s part, they’ve looked like a side on the up. Michael Krohn-Dehli has been a huge signing, and he set up two goals in last week’s 3-1 victory over Getafe in Balaídos. Quique de Lucas is imporant absentee in attack, but they’re not short of talent in the final third. They’ve yet to win away, but Granada have yet to win at home. I’m leaning towards a draw.
Valladolid v Rayo Vallecano (16:00)
Two very attractive sides collide here. Valladolid have lost the last three, but were certainly unlucky against Atlético last weekend. Vallecano put in a spirited display at home to Real. Ebert has impressed for the hosts but misses out here. It should be a close run thing, but Valladolid are good enough to grab a win.
