SEV vs GRD Dream11: Granada travels to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium to take on Sevilla in La Liga. Sevilla sits comfortably in 4th place, 17 points clear of 5th placed Real Sociedad. They are currently on an 8 game unbeaten run, winning 6 of them and are on a 4 game winning streak. Granada responded to their Europa League exit with a strong 4-1 win over Eibar last Friday. However, they are still in 8th place and even though they can still make the Europa League, it will not be easy.

Fantasy Football Tips
Captain Options
Youssef En-Neysri – The Moroccan international has been excellent all season with 17 goals in La Liga. He has been very clinical as well, finishing 17 of his 26 shots on target. En-Neysri has been in fine form with goals in each of his last 2 games, including the winner against Levante.
Suso – Despite registering just 3 goals and 4 assists in La Liga so far, Suso has made the Sevilla attack click. He created 38 chances and completed 48 accurate dribbles at an incredible completion rate of 83%. Suso has maintained a pass accuracy of 86% and bagged an assist in 2 of his last 3 games as well.
Differential Pick
Robert Soldado – Soldado will be an annoying presence in the Sevilla box as he will look to make life difficult for the home team. With 8 goals this season, 7 of them from inside the box, the Spaniard’s duties will be to capitalise on any defensive error Sevilla makes. He has a shot conversion rate of 73%, scoring 8 of his 11 shots on target. Soldado was the man of the match when Granada played Eibar as he picked up 2 goals.
Goalkeeper – Bounou Defenders – Navas, Acuna, Foulquier, Neva Midfielders – Rakitic, Machis, Jordan Forwards – Soldado, Suso (VC), En-Neysri (C)
Likely Winner:
Sevilla has a relaxed season ahead as they have all but confirmed their Champions League spot. They are 17 points clear of 5th place and will look to challenge Real Madrid for 3rd place. Granada doesn’t have a lot of play for as well, except pride. A great season has turned sour for them after getting knocked out of the Europa League and now face an uphill battle to qualify for the competition next season. They trail Real Betis by 8 points, although they have 2 games in hand. The SEV vs GRD Today Match Prediction is likely to end up in a draw.
