Granada CF vs Cordoba Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this one! On paper, you'd look at the league table and think Cordoba have this sorted - they're sitting pretty in 8th with 20 points, while Granada are down in 19th with just 15. But football's not played on paper, is it?

Granada's recent form tells a completely different story. In their last 10 games, they've only lost once! That's 4 wins and 5 draws, mate. They've been banging in the goals too - 18 scored and only 9 conceded. They went to Racing Santander (who are 2nd in the league) and came away with a 2-2 draw. They smashed Zaragoza 3-1 at home and even put five past Roda in the cup. At home, they're unbeaten in their last four - two wins, two draws.

Cordoba, on the other hand, have been drawing for fun. Five draws in their last 10 games tells you everything you need to know. They can't seem to turn those draws into wins. They did beat Albacete 3-1 away, which was decent, but then they lost 1-3 at home to league leaders Deportivo. Away from home, they're not too bad with two wins, two draws and one loss in their last five on the road.

Now here's the killer stat - the head-to-head. Granada have absolutely dominated Cordoba at home. We're talking a 100% record here, mate. Four games, four wins, zero draws, zero losses. And the last time these two met? It ended 0-5 to Granada. You can't ignore that kind of history.

Both teams tend to score in their games (60% of the time for both sides), but Granada are averaging 2 goals per game at home while only letting in 0.75. Cordoba are scoring 1.4 away but conceding 1.0.

The bookies have Granada at 2.15 for the win, which looks pretty generous to me. Their recent form is solid, they're unbeaten at home, and they've never lost to Cordoba on their own patch. Sometimes the league table lies, and this might just be one of those times.
