VIL vs GRD Dream11 Team Villarreal vs Granada Laliga

VIL vs GRD Dream11 Prediction: Villarreal will be looking to bounce back from their UEFA Super Cup disappointment when they open their 2021-22 La Liga campaign at home to Granada on Monday night. The Yellow Submarine, who won the Europa League last term, lost on penalties to Chelsea in the Super Cup on Wednesday, but this will be Granada’s first competitive fixture in three months.

VIL vs GRD Dream11 Prediction

UEFA Super Cup penalty shootout defeat in Northern Ireland against Chelsea is unlikely to have been ideal preparation for Unai Emery’s Villarreal. The hosts will, though, sense some blood at the top-of-the-table and their ambitions won’t stray too far away from a genuine title push. The lack of depth to balance Champions League football might cost them as it did mid-way through the season last year but they are coming up against a Granada side this weekend that have had to appoint a new manager in Robert Moreno; the former Spain manager. Moreno will look to play a front-foot style of play and these two drew 4-4 last season so both teams to score seems a solid approach for this game.

Who will win?

Granada are certainly a team to be taken seriously at this level of football, and it would not be a surprise to see them claim another top-half finish this term. Wednesday’s Super Cup fixture would have been valuable for Villarreal in terms of building fitness, though, and we can see the home side edging out a victory in this contest to put an early three points on the board. In our VIL vs GRD Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 2-0 win for Villarreal in this match.
