Granada vs Manchester United Preview
The hosts come into the game missing key players and in poor form, having won just two of their last 11 matches in La Liga.
They have done extremely well to reach this stage in their debut European season yet the effects of beginning their campaign in the early qualifying rounds is beginning to tell, with Granada looking extremely tired and sluggish during their 3-0 home defeat by Villarreal at the weekend.
United certainly have enough quality to record a win as they have done in their previous away matches in the tournament, and there should be plenty of interest in investing in an away victory.
Granada vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions
Granada have conceded at least two goals in nine of their last 13 matches in all competitions and backing United to win and score over 1.5 goals at evens (2.00) looks like an attractive selection.
