Team News
Granada
Granada's 1-0 defeat to Real Zaragoza last weekend brought them back
into the relegation fight, however Abel Resino's men still have a five
point advantage over the Aragonese side with five games left to play.
Jaime Romero returns from suspension, but the midfielder could still miss out with a muscular injury. Fran Rico, Roberto, Pape Diakhate and Hassan Yebda remain on the sidelines though.
Alexandre Geijo started for the first time since January against
Zaragoza, but he was substituted just before the hour mark and Odion
Ighalo could regain his place as the lone striker.
Probable lineups : Cesar, Siqueira, Mainz, Gomez, Nyom, Rico, Moises, Benitez, Martins, Uche, Ighalo. (4-2-3-1).
Getafe
Getafe launched themselves back into the European race with a 5-1 demolition of Sevilla on Monday. Miku scored twice, but the real star of the show was Pedro Rios who had
two assists and scored only his second goal of the season.
Miguel Torres was also on target but he is expected to return to
right-back with Alexis returning to the centre of defence after he was
ineligible to play against his parent club last time out.
Probable lineups : Moya, Torres, Diaz, Alexis, Mane, Michel, Lacen, Rios, Castro, Gavilan, Miku. (4-2-3-1).

Prediction
However, Getafe have been one of the league's form sides in the
second-half of the season and may just be timing their run for Europe at
exactly the right time.
Therefore with both sides having plenty to play for, but a draw being
disastrous for neither, they may just cancel each other out.
Defeat last weekend was Granada's first in four games and their two
remaining home games against Getafe and Espanyol will probably be the
key to their survival prospects.
Granada 1 - 1 Getafe
