La RiojaDrawGranollers
La Rioja host Granollers in Liga ASOBAL on 14 November 2026, a matchup between two sides separated by just one point in the standings. La Rioja sit fourth with 12 points from eight games, while Granollers occupy sixth place on 11 points. Both teams have won five games this season, but La Rioja's superior goal difference and two draws (to Granollers' one) have given them the edge so far. This is a direct clash between mid-table contenders looking to strengthen their position.
Team form
La Rioja
La Rioja have posted solid recent form across their last five outings, scoring 163 goals and conceding 152 across all competitions. Their Liga ASOBAL record shows two wins in their last three league games: a 36-32 victory at Cuenca and a 36-32 home win over Puerto Sagunto. They also drew 30-30 away to Wybrzeze Gdansk in European competition. However, they suffered a 30-34 defeat at home to Gummersbach in the EHF European League, showing they can be vulnerable at times. Across their recent stretch they average 32.6 goals scored and 30.4 conceded per game.
Granollers
Granollers have been slightly more prolific in their recent five matches, scoring 169 goals and conceding 161 across all competitions—averaging 33.8 and 32.2 per game respectively. In Liga ASOBAL, they drew 36-36 at home to Cuenca, won 31-29 away at Proin Sevilla, and won 37-31 at home to Buzau in European play. They did suffer a 33-34 loss away to Caserio Ciudad Real in the league, but have otherwise shown consistent attacking output. Their away form in this sequence includes a win and a loss, suggesting they can perform on the road but are not entirely reliable.
Head-to-head
There is no head-to-head history between these two sides in the available record, so this fixture offers no direct precedent to guide expectations.
Key factors
Both teams operate at a similar attacking level—La Rioja average 32.6 goals per game recently, while Granollers average 33.8—so an open, high-scoring encounter is likely. Granollers have conceded slightly more per game (32.2 versus 30.4), which may give La Rioja confidence in their home environment. La Rioja's two draws this season suggest they can be resilient, but they also lost at home to Gummersbach, indicating defensive lapses are possible. Granollers' away record is mixed: they won at Proin Sevilla but lost at Caserio Ciudad Real. The home advantage typically matters in handball, and La Rioja's superior league position provides a psychological edge.
Prediction
La Rioja are the favourite here, holding the higher league position and enjoying home court advantage. Their recent scoring rate is consistent, and they have shown they can win close matches in the league. Granollers, while competitive and capable of scoring freely, have been less reliable away from home and sit one place lower in the table. The expected goal balance slightly favours the hosts, and the model reflects La Rioja as the more likely winner.
La Rioja are favoured to take the points in this Liga ASOBAL encounter. Expect a close, goal-heavy match typical of the Spanish top flight, with both teams likely to breach 30 goals. The hosts' home advantage and superior standing make them the more likely winner, though Granollers possess the firepower to trouble them and could secure a result if their away form clicks.
