Navalcarnero vs Granada prediction, preview, team news and more | Copa Del Rey 2020-21
Navalcarnero host Granada in a Copa Del Rey round-of-16 clash on Thursday evening.
The hosts are currently playing their football in the third tier of the Spanish pyramid. Despite already showing proof of their giant-killing abilities, they face an uphill task against Granada, who have had a good season so far.
In the last round, Navalcarnero beat La Liga strugglers Eibar 3-1 to qualify for the round of 16.
However, since beating Eibar, they have not won either of the two league games that they have played. In their last match, they lost 3-1 to Las Rozas in the Spanish Segunda Division B.
Granada, meanwhile, are going through a dip in form in La Liga. They have won only one of their last five league games, and at the weekend, they were well beaten by Osasuna.
Despite being down to 10 men, Osasuna were the better side in that game, as they beat Granada 3-1.
In the last round of the Copa Del Rey, Granada beat Malaga 2-1, with early goals from Fede Vico and Jorge Molina eventually proving enough.
They will now be looking to emulate last year's Copa Del Rey run, when they eventually made it through to the semifinal, where they were beaten by Athletic Bilbao.

Navalcarnero vs Granada Prediction
Despite the fact that Navalcarnero have been giant-killers in the Copa Del Rey so far this season, we are predicting a comfortable Granada win in this game.
For a side ranked seventh in La Liga at the moment, Granada should easily be getting the better of a team playing two divisions below them.
Prediction: Navalcarnero 0-3 Granada
