Granada arrive at Córdoba on Sunday evening carrying a 1.34 advantage in Formatic's weighted form score, rating 6.67 out of 10 against the hosts' 5.33. That gap reflects a pre-season built largely on clean sheets for the visitors, who have now scored in all 5 of their last 5 matches while conceding just 6 across the same stretch. Their recent run includes a 1-0 win at home to Real Betis and a 2-0 victory over NEOM, both in late July friendlies, though their competitive calendar closed in May with back-to-back defeats: 1-2 at home to Sporting Gijon and 1-3 away to Mirandes. Those losses underline the challenge Granada face in converting pre-season momentum into Segunda División points, but the attacking consistency across five fixtures suggests a side comfortable in front of goal regardless of opponent.

Córdoba's recent profile is altogether more cautious. They have managed just 3 goals across their last 5 matches, though they have also conceded only 4 and recorded clean sheets in 2 of those 5 outings. A 1-0 win away to Cadiz on 25 July was followed by a goalless draw at home to Sevilla two days earlier, both club friendlies, and their competitive form from May tells a similar story: 1-1 draws at home to Huesca and away to Orlando Pirates sandwiched a 0-2 loss away to Eibar. The hosts have scored in 3 of 5 but managed only 1 win from those fixtures, leaving them with a steady rather than strong rating heading into the new campaign. That record of 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat suggests a side capable of keeping matches tight but struggling to convert defensive discipline into three points.

The head to head ledger over the last 10 meetings leans 6-3 in Granada's favour, with 1 draw and an average of 2.8 goals per fixture. Both teams have scored in 5 of those 10 encounters, and 5 have finished over 2.5 goals, pointing to a historically open contest between these sides. The most recent itemised meetings show Córdoba winning 1-0 on 10 May 2026, Granada and Córdoba drawing 1-1 on 22 November 2025, and Córdoba recording a striking 5-0 victory on 2 March 2025. Earlier fixtures include a 1-0 Granada win on 13 October 2024 and a 1-0 Córdoba victory on 20 July 2022, illustrating how often these sides have settled matters by a single goal.

Granada's 100 per cent scoring record across their last 5 fixtures contrasts sharply with Córdoba's 3 goals from the same sample, and the visitors' 2 clean sheets match the hosts' defensive tally despite a higher attacking output. The form gap of 1.34 and the 6-3 head to head split both point in the same direction, though the historical pattern of narrow margins and the frequency of both teams scoring in this fixture suggest Córdoba's defensive organisation may keep the contest closer than the pre-season numbers alone would indicate. The question for Sunday evening is whether Granada's attacking rhythm survives the step up from friendlies to league football, and whether Córdoba's cautious recent approach can frustrate a side that has now found the net in every outing since mid-July.
