Granada did put up an excellent fight away in Napoli, and despite the loss they qualified to face Molde in the Europa League in the next round. It is a historical achievement, and although it was not their main competition for this season now it might be as they are rather safe in La Liga.

The match in Italy took its toll however. Granada were already suffering from injuries ahead of the match but there came more, and it also offered them only two full days of rest which is too short a recovery time for a professional team. We can expect tired legs, or inexperienced legs, or both. Personally I see the little rest as a bigger problem than the injuries, which are below in the chart.

Granada fight well and good effort often is rewarded with good luck. Granada have earned 30 points in La Liga which puts them into midtable, but according to xG-performances they should be one of the teams in the relegation battle. They are not a particularly good side, and today they miss several key players, while others might not be 100% fit.

The last win in La Liga came 7 rounds ago! The luck is turning?

Now Elche are the weakest team in the league as I have said several times, but they are good enough to win these class-wise bottom half teams, and more importantly this is their sole focus and strenght. They can concentrate on these winnable games.

Elche also played midweek, but it was one day earlier, and the tempo of the Barcelona was very low. The managerial change some rounds ago is bearing some fruit.

The schedule has not been easy, but the win over Eibar showed strenght. This is the main game for Elche this week, for Granada less so, and I am expecting at least one point to the team from Alicante area!

1-2?

格拉纳达在客场对那不勒斯的比赛中表现出色，尽管输了，他们还是获得了下一轮欧罗巴联赛对阵莫尔德的资格。这是一个历史性的成就，虽然这不是他们本赛季的主要比赛，但现在他们在西甲很安全。

然而在意大利的比赛却让他付出了代价。格拉纳达在比赛前就已经受伤了，但还有更多的伤病，而且他们只有两天的休息时间，这对于一支职业球队来说太短了。我们可能会有疲劳的腿，或者没有经验的腿，或者两者都有。就我个人而言，我认为休息的时间比伤病更严重，伤病如下表所示。

格拉纳达打得好，努力往往会换来好运。格拉纳达在西甲联赛中获得了30分，这让他们进入了中排，但根据xg的表现，他们应该是保级之战的队伍之一。他们不是一支特别好的球队，今天他们失去了一些关键球员，而其他人可能不是100%的健康。

上一次西甲的胜利是在7轮之前!好运来了?

我已经说过很多次了，现在埃尔切是联赛中最弱的球队，但他们有足够的实力去战胜这些处于下半的球队，更重要的是，这是他们唯一的重点和力量。他们可以专注于这些可能获胜的比赛。

埃尔切也在周中踢了球，但那是在一天之前，巴塞罗那的节奏很低。几轮前的管理变革正在产生一些成果。

赛程并不容易，但是战胜伊巴尔显示了实力。这是本周埃尔切的主要比赛，格拉纳达的主要比赛，我希望球队在阿利坎特地区至少得一分!

预测比分1:2。
