hello coolers it's pablo here and welcome back to bass universal and welcome to the match preview of granada versus barcelona as chubby side swiftly returned to the league action following our progression in the commendary midweek we are now in the round of 16 of that competition after beating leonardo's deportivo 2-1 away from home for bassa this game here against granada would actually be our final game before heading out to saudi arabia to compete in the spanish super copper and we know guys that now in la liga we're within touching distance of la liga's top four and the victory away to robert moneros could certainly get us there so without any further ado let's get on with this match preview and this clash here will be coming to us live at 6 30 p.m spanish time locally there in spain and it's gonna be coming to us of course away from home at los carmenes in granada in terms of how the lady gaga table looks this is how things are looking guys as you can see and as you know we're now in a much better place but of course tomorrow could be huge in terms of you know keeping up that winning momentum we don't just want to slip away now in the league if you like we really have got to keep winning and actually elsewhere in la liga this weekend there are some good fixtures to look out for and some teams certainly could be dropping points again did not take on celta vigor you've got real madrid up against valencia railway up against betis that should be a really good one actually sevilla play her tafe and then also to finish the match week the arial will face atletico de madrid some good games there guys watch out for them and it is actually quickly worth noting before we go any further that we do have some bars and news to cover if you like barcelona have actually just completed the loan departure of felipe coutinho who will now join aston villa on loan until the end of the season that has a buy option of around 40 million euros his departure as well as a few other moves hopefully in the next few days should allow us to register fernando torres very soon and also actually just now guys barcelona being drawn away from home to athletic club in the round of 16 of the caballer that game will be played as a one-legged tie so no return like it will be decided at sun moments and that will take place once we return from the super cup in saudi arabia and let's kick start then with the actual match preview and let's begin by talking about our opponents in granada who currently sits 13th in la liga and of course guys they are actually managed by former spain assistant and then head coach robert moreno who incidentally actually also worked under luis enrique at barcelona but i think when we're talking about granada i think you know since their return to the top flight they've been very very impressive i think especially when you look at previous campaigns on the diego martinez then we always spoke about that didn't we they've been really really good but i think actually since the yoga mate has moved on this summer i do think that another have weakened this season i really do i i think underdog and modern they've been a bit up and down although having said that i think right now they're quite up we may be catching out here at quite a bad time as they're actually unbeaten in la liga since november when they lost that home to real madrid they've actually avoided a defeat in each of their last six games three wins three draws so rocking up here to los carmenas on saturday you know i'm expecting a tough game and i think the basta players and staff will be too so look i think when approaching this game we should be confident we're in quite a good moment right now we've got quite a lot of confidence behind us i think we'll also recognize that look they'll give us a tough game i think they always do actually they have done in the past of course already this season we played them and drawn at the company that was the famous game where we played 54 crosses in a match under ronald kuhlman that was a record at the time and of course guys i think none of us forget that famous defeat to going on our last campaign right at the end of the season the two undefeated the camp nou that felt like a symbolic defeat that lost us la liga and moving on to barcelona then who as i say do come into this clash with quite a good amount of confidence as i say the end of 2021 was quite good for chaby's side the start of 2022 has been quite positive too we've got you know a lot of absences in the team right now but we are grinding out victories we are improving we are developing i'm just thinking this current moment for barcelona things are working quite well on and off the pitch we are progressing nicely but football can change very very quickly and i think tomorrow's game away taking another it will be another tough game for chubby side i really do think that i think it's going to be a tough match i really do it's going to be hostile away from home i think you consider the fact that this will be barcelona's third game in just six days you know we've got game two days rest game it's just you know constant right now and with the amount of absences we've had you know that's really tough on the team a lot of the same players are going to be after playing again again and again so i think again tomorrow all the focus and tomorrow's fixture will be on getting those three points you know this will be a tough like i said it will be a host that away game i think it'll be quite similar actually to the away game we played against osasuna you know just under a month ago now but i think also it's one that bass i know they can win i think if we play the way we've been playing of late you know we are going to create chances we will dominate the ball for the for the majority of the 90 minutes it's all about again though being strong in the fence it really is again we'll be looking to general pk really for that solidity at the back he's been very very good for us and crucial in recent matches actually so for barcelona we should come into it with confidence we know this is going to be tough it's going to be a rough game but i think we can have good expectations coming into this sort of clash so then let's get down to business the classic question nowadays for barcelona when we approach matches who is actually available i think again you know with late covert tests coming in with tess on the day of games and of course the squad list only being announced until the day of the game we can only really predict who's going to be available though from what we're hearing dust is back valdez back and pablo gavier all back as they've tested negative for kovid although i think this game will be coming just about too soon for pederi and zulfati and perhaps even memphis to pie too and also ferrantoros who isn't expected to be involved just yet he's recovering from an injury and i don't think he's gonna be registered in time either however all four of those names i've just mentioned there big players in our attack certainly they should all be on the plane to saudi arabia to take on real madrid and then hopefully the final two so how will barcelona tomorrow this is how i think we could be lining up for this sort of clash you got to have stegan of course back in goal he was rested midweek i think i mean guesthou will play right back and alejo is injured of course as is frankie the young said barcelona they're without a few players here but i think we get i will get the knot ahead of danny alves and anyone else really at that right back row it also allows bastard to kind of have you know that hybrid of a back three you've got peken edit gotta see her next to him there and then george the other about left back who can push on in midfield i think bulls gets of course will be at the heart of the midfield i think nico again will start and then i'd bring gavi straight back in of course it depends on how you know how how bad his code symptoms were but i think if he didn't have any symptoms he should be okay and he should be ready to start this game especially when you consider the fact that deyong's injured peter is injured and i just don't think the key portrait has been up to the level of barcelona especially not on a big la liga away match like this i think we need gavi back in there and then up front i think dembele will get the start on the right a lot of controversy of course around dembele right now but i think for now anyway he'll continue playing let's see what decision is taken about him though as the season goes on i think luke dyong again will get the start up front he's scored of course in his last game and played well so let's hope he can get himself on the scoresheet again and then financial glad who's also in very good form i think will start a left wing with so many absences in attack too so moving on then to match predictions here is how you guys are feeling again in very confident mood i think that's only natural really with the way we've been playing the results are positive as i said off the pitch is positive so you guys are hopeful you guys are predicting either a bass win by one goal or a basta win by two goals so confident mood for you guys too and actually i'm going to agree maybe i'm going a bit too optimistic but my prediction has been good of late granada nil basta too i've gone for two no bastards and a win away from home i do think this is gonna be a tough game i do think that the players of barcelona will be getting tired now as i said third game in six get in six days it's not ideal but i think chubby side are progressing well hopefully we will recover a few players for this fixed you know the likes of gavin will come back in i think the lineup is strong enough it's familiar enough for chavy so let's see what we can drop in this sort of fixture as ever leave all of your thoughts in the comments down below i'll be here after tomorrow's game to recap it all and goodbye you
