Both teams are already on the pitch of Los Cármenes Stadium doing warm-up exercises.

Spanish stadiums can once again be filled to 100% capacity as of Matchday 8 following the decision agreed by the Spanish Interterritorial Health Council, which brings together the central government and the regions. Previously, the public was limited to 80%, and although some areas have their own local restrictions, all clubs will have the option of hosting 100% of the total capacity of their respective stadiums.

 

A tough loss for this match will be that of En-Nesyri, Sevilla's goal scorer. The Moroccan was injured in the match against Espanyol and although it was estimated that it was not a serious injury, his club announced that En-Nesyri will be out of action for at least two months. 

In the last five matches between these two clubs, the balance is in favor of Sevilla with four victories and only one win for Granada. Los Nazaríes have not managed to defeat Los Sevillanos since October last year. In their most recent match, Sevilla won 2-1 at home.

With the respective sanitary measures imposed by the Spanish soccer federation, the players called up for the match between Granada and Sevilla are already at the Los Cármenes stadium.

The Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes is a soccer field located in Granada, Spain. It is the venue where Granada plays its home matches. It has a capacity for just over 19 thousand spectators.

We are just a few minutes away from the starting whistle at the Los Cármenes stadium for the last game of this LaLiga matchday. Granada wants to get out of the relegation positions while Sevilla wants to take advantage of Real Madrid's defeat to get closer to the first place. Will they get the victory?

They are currently in third position with 14 points and one game behind Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid, clubs that are above Sevilla in the overall table. The Palanganas are coming from a draw against Wolfsburg in the Champions League and in LaLiga, they obtained a 2-0 win against Espanyol.

The Nazarí team, coached by Robert Moreno, has had a difficult start, as it has not been able to win three points. This balance has led Granada to be in the third last place, right in the relegation positions, with only two points, the result of two draws (against Valencia and Barcelona) and six defeats, the most recent one against Celta de Vigo by a score of 1-0.

This Sunday afternoon, matchday 8 will end with a game in the south of Spain where Granada will be looking to take advantage of their home to get out of the relegation zone of the general table of the Spanish league, while Sevilla does not want to drop points as they are only three points behind leaders Real Madrid.
