Sports Mole previews Sunday's La Liga clash between Granada and Getafe, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

Granada will be looking to end a run of four straight La Liga defeats when they complete their 2020-21 campaign at home to Getafe on Sunday evening.

The home side are currently 10th in Spain's top flight, one point behind ninth-placed Athletic Bilbao, while Getafe, who have had a tough season, are down in 16th spot in the table.


Match preview

Granada finished seventh on their return to La Liga last season, but Diego Martinez's side will not be able to match or better that position in the final gameweek, with ninth spot the highest that they can claim.

Inconsistency has been a problem during the 2020-21 campaign, winning 13, drawing six and losing 18 of their 37 matches, which has left them in 10th position.

There is certainly a chance that Granada could have dropped a few places by the time that they take to the field for this game, but a victory would ensure that they claim at least 10th and potentially ninth depending on other results.

Martinez's team recorded a standout 2-1 win over Barcelona at the end of April but have lost all four of their fixtures in May, with Cadiz, Real Betis, Real Madrid and Alaves all enjoying victories over the Andalusian side.

Granada have been relatively strong at home, though, winning nine of their 18 fixtures on their own patch, and they will be taking on a Getafe team with the third-worst away record in Spain's top flight.

Having finished eighth, fifth and eighth in their last three La Liga seasons, there is no getting away from the fact that it has been a disappointing campaign for Getafe.

A 2-1 win over Levante last time out ensured that they would have no relegation fears heading into the final gameweek, with Takefusa Kubo coming off the bench to score the game's decisive goal late on.

Jose Bordalas's side are four points above 17th-placed Huesca, meaning that they will claim at least 16th, but the spot directly above them is also open, depending on results elsewhere.

Getafe had been on a three-game losing run before overcoming Levante last time out, and the capital side will be determined to give their supporters something to be positive about ahead of next season.

Granada have been victorious in the last two league meetings between the two teams, though, including a 1-0 success in the reverse fixture back in October.

Team News

Granada could be missing as many as eight first-team players for this match, with Quini and Domingos Duarte definitely absent through suspension, and Neyder Lozano and Luis Milla certainly out through injury.

Victor Diaz, Carlos Neva, Jesus Vallejo and Kenedy are also all doubts, meaning that the home side will be far from at full strength in their final match of the season.

Roberto Soldado is back from suspension and should start in the final third of the field alongside Luis Suarez, while Darwin Machis and Antonio Puertas could both come into the side.

As for Getafe, Manchester United-linked Mauro Arambarri and David Timor are both unavailable for selection through suspension, while Angel Rodriguez could miss out with a groin problem.

Timor's absence should open the door for Chema Rodriguez to start at the back, while Arambarri's spot in the middle of the park could be taken by Carles Alena, with Allan Nyom coming into a wide area.

Jaime Mata is on standby to join Enes Unal in attack, meanwhile, in the event that Angel does not recover from the issue that he picked up during the win over Levante.

Granada possible starting lineup:
Escandell; Foulquier, Perez, Sanchez, Marin; Puertas, Eteki, Quina, Machis; Soldado, Suarez

Getafe possible starting lineup:
Soria; Suarez, Rodriguez, Dakonam, Olivera; Nyom, Maksimovic, Alena, Cucurella; Mata, Unal


We say: Granada 1-1 Getafe

There is not an awful lot between these two teams in terms of quality, and neither have too much to fight for in the final gameweek. It would not be a surprise to see a home or an away win on Sunday evening, but we have ultimately settled on a low-scoring draw here.
