Two clubs in the bottom half of the Liga BBVA table will do battle today in a league match between Granada and Rayo Vallecano. The first-division clash scheduled for 3 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes in Granada and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on beIN Sports en Español.
Granada manager Joaqin Caparros had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Inside Spanish Football): "Football is a competitive sport and you always have varying declarations from one player to another, but all we need to think about now is the match against Rayo Vallecano. I've been in this game for plenty of years and it's always a long season, so I know a player can say something one week, then say different the next."
"Debating things like this is something we prefer to keep to the locker room and I agree with all my players," he added when asked about recent coments from his striker. "But now, we just have to be focused exclusively on the game against Rayo."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Rayo Vallecano's Leo Baptistao has been the lone bright-spot in the club's early season struggles. The 22-year-old has four goals in six appearances and is averaging 1.2 key passes per match.
Granada's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Roberto; Foulquier, Murillo, Babin, Nyom; Piti, Iturra, Rico, Rochina; Cordoba, El-Arabi
Rayo Vallecano's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Tono; Insua, Amaya, Zazo, Tito; Trashorras, Baena; Kakuta, Bueno, Lica; Baptistao
