Barcelona - statistics & current form
Before Barcelona vs. Granada, giving your tip for a home win in the three-way is not worth it, the odds on Barça are so low. This is not really surprising in view of the Blaugrana constitution: Barça only suffered one defeat in the 2021 calendar year.

The Catalans remained undefeated in 19 league games, and in April they suffered their first and only defeat in 2021. In the Clasico in a duel with arch-rivals Real Madrid, Barcelona conceded a narrow 2-1 defeat.

Anyone who believed that the Catalans' form curve would now tear were mistaken: Since then there have been three wins in a row - two in the league (5: 2 against Getafe, 2: 1 in Villarreal) and the intoxicating 4: 0 in the final the Copa del Rey against Athletic Bilbao.
Barcelona with first chance to lead the table

This cup triumph alone should give Barça a boost for the final spurt in La Liga. Because even Antoine Griezmann made it clear after the 2-1 success on Sunday in Villarreal: "We want to become champions."

A big step in that direction would mean three points against Granada. Since before Barcelona vs. Granada the odds on the normal home win are only 1.15 on average, you should explore other options for betting on the Blaugrana, for example in the handicap.

It is currently difficult to imagine that Barcelona will drop points in this form at home in their own stadium on Thursday - especially because Messi and Co. have a great chance of leading the table.
Expected formation of Barcelona:
Ter Stegen - Mingueza, Piqué, Lenglet - Dest, Busquets, De Jong, Pedri, Alba - Messi, Griezmann

Granada - statistics & current form
However, FC Barcelona should by no means underestimate their opponents from Granada. In their second season in the Spanish House of Lords after their promotion, the Andalusians pick up where they left off last year. In the past season, as a newcomer, you surprisingly came in seventh, currently you are only one place down on rank 8.

Granada immediately established itself as a solid force in La Liga and performs above its actual level of performance - also in the cup competitions.

Granada reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey last season, and this season they were only a few minutes away from repeating this success. But in the quarter-finals it was just against Barça - with 3: 5 after extra time and although they were 2-0 in the meantime, the Catalans' equalizer only came in stoppage time.

Betting base forecast & Spain Barcelona - Granada Spain tip
These statistics in a direct duel also make it clear that Barça are of course the clear favorites in the game. While Granada will certainly have some desire for revenge if they are eliminated from the Cup, Barça of course know how uncomfortable Granada can be as an opponent because of this game in the Copa in early February.
The fact that with a win against the Andalusians you can jump to first place for the first time this season should provide additional motivation for Messi and Co. It would be a big step towards the title.

So we can't really imagine Barça taking this opportunity. We don't expect an easy or clear victory, but rather a lot of hard work against an uncomfortable opponent, but in the end three points should jump out for the Blaugrana. That's why our forecast for Barcelona vs. Granada is: Barça will win and both will score.
