Mirandés head into the final round of the LaLiga 2 season with their survival hanging in the balance. Sitting 20th in the table, they know that only a victory at the Estadio Municipal de Anduva will give them a fighting chance of avoiding the drop. They host a Granada side currently sitting 14th with little left to play for in what is essentially a dead-rubber fixture for the visitors.
While the hosts are desperate for points, they will have to be at their best to overcome a Granada side that, despite recent losses, has shown they can compete away from home. With Mirandés fighting for their lives and Granada playing with the relative freedom of a mid-table finish, the stage is set for an open encounter in this final league outing.

Mirandés form: Can they find the win they desperately need?
Antxón Muneta’s side enters this final day knowing their destiny is not entirely in their own hands, but a win is the absolute baseline requirement. Their home record has been a significant hurdle all season, yielding only 5 wins and 20 points from 20 matches at the Anduva.
Their recent form has been erratic, characterised by an inability to shut out opponents. While they managed a 2-2 draw away to Real Sociedad B last time out, the defensive frailty that has plagued them throughout the season remains a major concern. With the pressure of a relegation fight, the home crowd will be expecting a high-intensity performance from the first whistle.
Granada form: Will the visitors play without pressure?
Pacheta’s Granada side arrives at the Anduva sitting comfortably in 14th place, though their form has tailed off slightly with back-to-back defeats. Having already secured their status in the division, they enter the final round with little to lose.
Despite their mid-table security, Granada have been reasonably competent on the road, boasting a better away record than their overall league standing might suggest. However, with confirmed defensive absences noted ahead of this trip, Pacheta may be forced to reshuffle his back line, which could provide the struggling Mirandés attack with the opportunities they need to stay in the game.
Advanced Statistical Analysis & xG Metrics

Statistical trends and H2H
The historical meetings between these two clubs have generally been tight, though recent encounters suggest a growing tendency for cards and goals. Mirandés secured a 2-1 win in their most recent meeting back in August 2025, breaking a sequence where they had struggled to find success against the Andalusian outfit.
Beyond the goals, the disciplinary record in this fixture is notable. Referees have been kept busy in this match-up, with the "over 4.5 cards" line proving a consistent trend across their last five meetings. With the added intensity of a final-day survival battle, this edge is unlikely to dissipate.
We Predict: Both Teams To Score
Given the stakes, it is difficult to see Mirandés playing for anything other than a win. They are forced to push forward, which will inevitably leave gaps for a Granada side that has nothing to lose. While Granada’s defensive absences suggest they may struggle to keep a clean sheet, their ability to find the net against a leaky Mirandés defence remains high, pointing toward an open game.
We are backing Both Teams To Score at 1.7338. A 1-1 draw is the most likely outcome, though the desperation of the home side could easily push this toward a 2-1 result in either direction. Despite the low-scoring nature of some recent Granada games, the defensive instability on both sides and the "must-win" nature for the hosts should ensure both keepers are tested.
