There have been so many changes in personnel in both camps that we can only look at the last season in a bigger picture. Both were in the relegation fight - or should had been - in my papers, but survived rather clearly in end.

The coach Martinez who left Granada was the biggest factor in Granada's success, but the good news is that the replacing Robert Moreno is young but has good experience from working with Luis Henrique for Barcelona and Spain. He is a true admirer of having possession, but as the Granada side does not that much talent it is the be a hybrid.

And Granada did well in their first game v Villarreal away! It is clear that that they were under pressure against a top side, but apart from a few good clicks from Dia & Moreno they were not in trouble, and those shots and attacks who penetrated the box were well handled by their nr 1 keeper this season, Aaron. You may well remembering from Granada cup games last season where he made massive performances vs Barcelona and others!

And there is actually class in Granada midfield now, there are top La Masia graduates and Monchu was especially convincing. Winger Kenedy has gone, but there are now 3 speedy players in Machis, Suarez and Puertas upfront who only need feeding from the midfield. The defense is the part I am not fully convinced just yet.

Valencia's game was destroyed last time after 39 seconds with the Guillamon red card, today he is suspended and half a dozen players are in a doubtful status. About the same situation than in the first round.

The big news however is the new coach Bordalas who came from Getafe, and who in my opinion is a character that should get kicked out of football. His teams always make the most fouls, but they are also nasty and dirty ones, they want to stop the opponent at any price. There will be violence and negative performances, he will not be liked even hy his players.

Have to admit he can bring energy to the team up to some level, but as a long-term solution he is a bad one, a dinosaur, and their matches where he coaches the rhytm of the game will be constantly broken as his teams are likely stop the play 3 times more than in an average team.

The hero of the first match was the Georgian keeper who was surprisingly promoted from their reserves as the top-2 choices were injured. Today Cillesen is available, but perhaps the hero Mamardashvili gets another shout! I am not quite sure he is that good that he can keep a clean sheet twice in a row in a big league like this. Or not? Local media are expecting Cillesen as shown below.

There are still a few top players left in Valencia, mostly in the midifield. Soler is always a threat, Racic is strong, Cheryshev can run into the box with the ball. Guedes upfront is a midfielder too, but as there are not strikers left he has to be played there. First choice striker Gomez is a doubt.

Same class more or less material-wise, but I trust coach Moreno a lot more, Granada 45% or so to win.

3-1

两个阵营的人员都发生了很多变化，我们只能从更大的角度来看待上个赛季。在我的文章中，这两家公司都在为保级而战——或者应该是这样的——但最后都挺过来了。

离开格拉纳达的教练马丁内斯是格拉纳达成功的最大因素，但好消息是，取代他的莫雷诺很年轻，但有与巴塞罗那和西班牙的恩里克一起工作过的良好经验。他是一个真正的控球高手，但是格拉纳达的球队没有那么多的天赋，这是一个混合体。

格拉纳达在客场对阵比利亚雷亚尔的第一场比赛中表现出色!很明显，他们在与强队的比赛中承受着压力，但是除了迪亚和莫雷诺的几次漂亮的射门和进攻外，他们并没有遇到麻烦，那些穿过禁区的射门和进攻都被他们的头号门将阿伦处理得很好。你可能还记得上个赛季的格拉纳达杯比赛，他在对阵巴塞罗那和其他球队的比赛中表现出色!

现在格拉纳达的中场确实有实力，有顶尖的拉玛西亚毕业生，蒙楚尤其令人信服。边锋肯尼迪离开了，但是现在有3名速度很快的球员，马希斯，苏亚雷斯和普尔塔斯，他们只需要从中场传球。我还没有完全相信辩方。

瓦伦西亚的比赛在第39秒就被吉拉蒙的红牌毁掉了，今天他被禁赛，还有6名球员状态不确定。和第一轮的情况差不多。

然而，最大的新闻是来自赫塔菲的新教练博尔达拉斯，在我看来，他是一个应该被踢出足球的人。他的球队总是犯规最多，但他们也是肮脏的，他们想要不惜一切代价阻止对手。会有暴力和消极的表现，他甚至不会被他的球员喜欢。

不得不承认他能给球队带来能源到一定程度,但他作为一个长期解决方案是坏的,一只恐龙,他们的比赛,他的教练游戏rhytm将不断打破他的团队可能会停止在平均团队发挥的3倍。

第一场比赛的英雄是格鲁吉亚门将，他意外地从预备队中被提升，因为前两名球员受伤了。今天，Cillesen还在，但也许英雄Mamardashvili会得到另一个欢呼!我不太确定他是否能在这样的大联盟连续两场不失球。或不呢?以下是当地媒体对Cillesen的期待。

瓦伦西亚还有一些顶级球员，大部分在中场。索雷尔总是一个威胁，拉西奇很强大，切里谢夫可以带球跑进禁区。前面的盖德斯也是一名中场球员，但由于没有前锋了，他必须上场。第一前锋戈麦斯是一个疑问。

预测比分3:1。
