Granada vs Valencia prediction and betting tips on April 04, 2024
On Thursday in Spain, a postponed match from the 26th round of La Liga will take place at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes, where the local side Granada will host Valencia. Will the "Bats" manage to secure victory over the underdog? Here's the match prediction from Dailysports experts.
Granada
The "Nasrids" are having a dismal season and are likely to bid farewell to the elite division at the end of the campaign. Currently, Granada sits second from bottom, gathering a mere 14 points from 29 matches. A 14-point gap separates them from safety, and it seems unlikely that such a deficit can be overturned, especially considering Granada's lackluster performances. In the last round, "Granada" suffered a 0-1 defeat away to Cadiz, another La Liga struggler.
Valencia
The "Bats" are battling for European qualification, yet they find themselves lagging in the league standings. At present, Valencia has accumulated 41 points, which is eight points behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad. In the previous round, Ruben Baraja's team hosted Mallorca but failed to breach the visitors' defense, resulting in a goalless draw. Valencia has managed only one victory in their last five La Liga matches, alongside one defeat and three draws.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- In the first leg, Valencia defeated Granada 1-0 in their home match.
- Granada has failed to beat Valencia in their last four encounters, suffering three defeats during this period.

Granada vs Valencia Prediction
Valencia is the favored team among bookmakers, with odds of 2.34 for their victory. The "Bats" have been dropping points frequently in recent rounds, and facing an underdog presents a good opportunity to secure three points and improve their league position. We believe that in this encounter, backing "Valencia to win with a (0) handicap" at odds of 1.60 is a reasonable choice.
