Head-to-head stats in 2020-21 that shows why Koeman should choose Griezmann above Braithwaite

Ronald Koeman once again lined up Martin Braithwaite over Antoine Griezmann in his starting XI for Huesca over the weekend.

Following the game, the Barcelona head coach explained that he 'has to choose between Braithwaite and Griezmann' if he plays with 3 forwards.

Does the Dane deserve to start for the Catalans at the expense of the Frenchman whose move from Atletico Madrid cost Barca €120m in 2018? Their head-to-head stats in the 2020-21 season say that he doesn't but Griezmann should've certainly fared better this term so far.
