Barcelona will host Granada in the fifth game week of La Liga at Camp Nou in Barcelona on 21st September 2021 at 00:30 IST. The odds are clearly in favor of Barcelona to win the match. They will be looking to win and break into the top four of La Liga.

Teams Status

Barcelona

Barcelona will be back on the field against Granada after their Sevilla clash was cancelled due to Covid concerns. They are currently in the eight position of the La Liga points table with seven points from three matches including two wins and one draw. They started off with a win over Real Sociedad and then drew against Athletic Bilbao before winning against Getafe at home. They have scored at an average of 2.33 goals per match and have conceded four goals in three matches. Martin Brathwaite, Memphis Depay and Sergi Roberto are the team’s leading goal scorers with two goals each. And when it comes to the injury list, Martin Braithwaite, Pedri, Jordi Alba, Moussa Wague, Ansu Fati, Sergio Aguero and Ousmane Dembele could miss the next match.

Granada

Granada on the other hand are coming on the back of two back to back to back losses against Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis. They started off with two back to back draws against Villarreal and Valencia. They are just one point clear of the relegation zone after four matches. They have drawn two matches and have lost two matches, accumulating just two points. They have scored just two goals and have conceded seven goals in the first four matches. They have kept just one clean sheet. Luis Javier Suarez has netted both the goals that Granada has scored this season.

And more of that is expected from him in the upcoming matches. They have just one player on the injury list as Neyder Lozano is out with a skull fracture. So, Granada could field their strongest XI against Barcelona.
