Barcelona vs. Granada: Preview, Live Stream, Start Time and More

Barcelona will look to continue their recent La Liga success against newly-promoted Granada on Tuesday.

Barcelona beat Sevilla last weekend to keep pace with rivals Real Madrid, who are seven points ahead of Barca in the league table, but have a game in hand.

Granada is 15th in the league table and are seven points above the relegation zone. For them to achieve a positive result against Barcelona would be a huge confidence booster for them going forward.

Let's look at everything you need to know about this awesome match.

Where: Nou Camp, Barcelona, Spain

Watch: ESPN Deportes, Sky Sports HD4

When: Tuesday, March 20 at 4:00 p.m. ET

Most Important Player to Watch: Lionel Messi

Barcelona star forward Lionel Messi is the best player in the world, and if you don't believe me, look at his stats from the last few games.

Messi has scored eight goals in Barcelona's last three games, which just shows you what kind of a roll he's on right now.

Messi looks unstoppable right now, and against a Granada club that has allowed 38 goals, there's a strong chance he could continue to dominate this week.

Key Matchup: Barcelona forwards vs. Granada wingbacks

Barcelona loves to work the ball towards goal by dominating the middle of the field with Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas and others, but where they could hurt Granada is down the flanks.

Right back Dani Alves and winger Alexis Sanchez should find it easy to move down the flanks and either cut into the middle for a shot or fire a cross into the penalty box.

What They're Saying

Lionel Messi recently admitted that he likes the Premier League, yet he doesn't see himself leaving Barcelona anytime soon, saying via Soccernet:

"

"It's a league I like," he said. "I have friends that are playing there and I follow it as and when I can. Players I like are Kun Aguero and [Wayne] Rooney. These are two players that I like," Messi told Sky Sports.

"The truth is my idea has been to always stay in Barcelona and see out the rest of my career here. Like I always say, one doesn't know what can happen in the future but if it were up to me to decide, I would stay at Barcelona."

"

Prediction: Barcelona win 3-0

Barcelona will comfortably defeat Granada with a fine performance from Messi and the rest of the forwards, who will score an early goal and not let up at all.

Expect Barcelona to keep pace with Real Madrid thanks to another win in La Liga play.
