Reasoning
Hosts Granada with one game in hand, looking for a victory to put them back in playoff placement. They are hosting Alcorcon, the team that shocked the world by eliminating Real Madrid in Copa del Rey a couple of years ago.
Granada has a strong record at home, 5-2-1 21-6, in fact they are one of the best scoring teams at home this season in the segunda. The guests Alcorcon on the other hand is a very poor travelling team with 0-2-6 5-16.
Granada has according to
http://www.marca.com/2011/01/01/futb...293887546.html some doubt about top scorer Geijo, he received a muscular injury before the break and may not be able to start. Other than that they will miss; Ighalo who recently joined the club, Mainz and Abel Gomez.
All though it is much worse for Alcorcon missing three regulars on the midfield; Sergio Mora, Samuel and Ruben Sanz. They have failed to recover from injuries in time for this fixture. Also, left back Sanchez will be missing.
This match is vital for both teams, Granade to get back into the playoff spot and Alcorcon to leap ahead in the relegation race.
I think Granada is the clear favourite here and the price is too good, even if they miss Geijo they should be able to handle a poor side as Alcorcon that is forced to make several changes in their defensive and midfiled lines.
