Sevilla vs Granada Prediction: En-Nesyri to fire hosts to victory

Sevilla are looking to continue their climb up the table when they host second-bottom Granada on Sunday night. The hosts have put a run together to ease any relegation concerns, but they are now looking to push on towards the top-half.

With Granada 10 points shy of safety in the top flight, their stay in La Liga is coming to an end. Defeat at Sevilla this week would push them even closer towards the second tier. Below you can find my Sevilla vs Granada prediction, with team news and betting tips. 

Team news

Sevilla will be without the suspended Suso in this clash, as he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the derby with Betis last weekend.

The hosts are also without Djibril Sow, Nemanja Gudelj, Adria Pedrosa and Isaac Romero for this clash.

Granada are hoping that Oscar Melendo will return in time for this clash to fill one of the holding midfield spots in theri 4-2-3-1 system.

Sevilla to win @ 8/13 

Sevilla were among the relegation contenders early in the season, but they looked to be doing just enough to steer clear of danger. However, the former Europa League winners were still nowhere near their usual standards, but a good recent run is lifting them back towards the top 10.

Sevilla have suffered only two defeats across their last 12 games and they head into Sunday’s match with three wins from their last four starts. They also picked up a point against bitter rivals Betis last weekend, denting their neightbour’s chances of a European finish.

With Sevilla in fine form they look well priced to secure all three points in Sunday’s clash with a Granada side who have lost 13 of their 16 away trips this term. While they’ve managed to string some results together at home, Sevilla won 3-0 when the pair last met and home advantage helps the in-form side.

Youssef En-Nesyri to score anytime @ 23/20 

En-Nesyri has been a key figure for Sevilla during their good run of form and the forward should play a key role again in this clash.

The Morocco international has 12 La Liga goals for the campaign and on his day he can trouble any backline. He’s been impressing recently with some big strikes in Sevilla upturn in form, netting four goals across their last three home games.

With En-Nesyri netting against Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo and Mallorca, he can trouble a Granada side who are conceding 2.19 goals per game on their travels. With his presence up front, En-Nesyri stands out at 23/20 to score anytime.

Sevilla should get a couple of strikes in this clash, especially given that they keep leaking goals. Look to the home side to secure a 2-1 victory at 7/1.
