Prediction for the Granada vs Real Madrid football match, La Liga – team news, expected line-ups, form, head-to-head history. Facing a team struggling at the bottom of the league table like Granada, Real Madrid is likely to secure an easy victory.
Prediction ahead of the Granada vs Real Madrid match
Granada is currently languishing in 19th place with 21 points after 34 rounds in La Liga this season. Jose Ramon Sandoval’s team will be relegated if Mallorca defeats Las Palmas. Even if Mallorca cannot win against Las Palmas, Granada’s chances of staying in the top-flight Spanish football league are still very low. Granada will find it difficult to get points against Real Madrid even though Los Blancos no longer have any competitive targets.
Real Madrid has the best away record in La Liga this season. Carlo Ancelotti’s team has only lost 1 out of 17 away matches and won 12. Real Madrid’s last away defeat was nearly 8 months ago when they lost to Atletico Madrid 1-3. Since then, Real Madrid has been unbeaten in 28 La Liga matches. The Spanish capital team has just become the new La Liga champion after Girona defeated Barcelona 4-2. The team’s spirit is also very high after the thrilling victory against Bayern Munich in the Champions League midweek.
Returning to the domestic arena, coach Carlo Ancelotti may rest key players and give the reserve players a chance to play. The Italian coach needs to make rational decisions to help the key players achieve their best physical condition in the Champions League final. Although they may field a team of all reserve players, Los Blancos are still considered much stronger than Granada. Therefore, a victory for Real Madrid has been predicted beforehand.
