CONCLUSION

Overall, the structural indicators point toward Granada holding the stronger pre-match profile. Power rankings give Granada a 0.3-point edge. External projection is Córdoba 54.1%, draw 25%, and Granada 21%. That projection profile diverges from the structural signals, so execution is likely to decide the result. The balance of play should hinge on execution in transitions and set-piece phases.
