Barcelona vs Granada Betting Tips

Barcelona are hosting Granada in the Camp Nou, Barcelona on the 21st of September 2021, Tuesday at 00:30 IST. Barca would surely be shaken after what turned out at the same venue last week against arch nemesis Bayern München, but as a breather they are playing against a much weaker Granada, but given the shape of this Barca side, Granada could still have a say. 

Barcelona Form and Team News

After three league games, Barcelona are presently placed at the seventh position. They have won two games while drawing another in the process. Last week, they had another heartbreak in the form of usual suspects Bayern in the CL, whether this is the end of the Catalan dominance, only time will tell. Barcelona are going through their worst crisis on and off the field, they finished last season as the third best team and only won the Copa Del Rey to show as a major achievement. They are opening their campaign against Granada on Sunday at home. Barcelona’s recent form has been decent, they have won six in the last nine and have lost two games in the lead up to this game while also drawing two games in the process. This Barcelona team full of youngsters can really make a difference to all that’s being happening in Camp Nou with their football, if they falter, this club could probably start falling apart like some other old European giants who don’t have a name nowadays.

The After Messi era has begun and it has begun on a slightly edgy note and how this team will react to his absence could in turn become the template for how they’ll eventually play in the season ahead. Koeman has problems aplenty and he needs to address them quickly and get the team moving in the right direction, Depay has gelled well with the team so far and his collaboration with Braithwaite at the front could become the telling factor. Pedri after the hectic last season would’ve got a much-deserved rest and De Jong, Puig combined, this team has a talented bunch of players who really can make the difference.

Granada Form and Team News

Granada have not had the best start to the campaign this season in the La Liga after the first four games. They are yet to win while also getting two draws and the same number of losses so far. Granada finished last season as the nineth-placed team with 46 points. They in the last few seasons have been there and thereabouts in the top half of the table to say the least. They are playing against Barcelona in their next match and they would want to start winning. Granada can seize this chance to beat the mighty Barca in their own den, Barca are not the Barca that used to be anymore and if there is vulnerability that the opponents can capitalize on, that is now, they are in a very bad state now and Granada if they play well they can cause the first upset of the season.

Carlos Baca being the veteran in the forward line could really be a handful on this day, he has already hit a goal and provided an assist so far.  He could really make the difference here as well, given he gets enough space and the ball time to perform. Darwin Machis along with Monchu, Gonalons, Milla and Rochina at the middle of the park have the potential to cause enough damage in the opposition camp. Coach Robert Moreno can really make a statement here if they happen to win at Camp Nou on Sunday.
