La Liga: Granada vs Real Madrid Live
Preview: Granada vs Real Madrid
Granada vs Real Madrid comes off on Saturday 4:30pm at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes, as the recently crowned champions seek their 28th league win of the season. Madrid clinched the title with four games remaining, while the home side is in danger of being relegated to the Segunda Division.
The home side’s time in La Liga appears to be ending soon, despite their recent improvement with two wins, one draw, and one loss. This improvement may not be enough to prevent them from finishing at the bottom of the league. They suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat against Sevilla last weekend, their worst loss since a 5-1 defeat by Villarreal in early March.
The home side has not won any away games this season and has also struggled at home with four wins, six draws, and seven losses. In their upcoming match at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes against Madrid, the recently confirmed La Liga champions, the home side will need to rely on Real Madrid possibly easing off to get a result from this game.
Madrid has decided not to accept the La Liga trophy at Granada’s stadium, as Granada is likely to be relegated on that day. Madrid is still in the running for a double after their recent dramatic win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final. Manager Carlo Ancelotti may choose to rotate his squad to keep players fresh, but he has emphasized that winning is the top priority. Madrid is aiming for a fourth consecutive away league victory and a third straight clean sheet on the road. They have a good chance of success, having scored four goals in four of their last six visits to Granada, all resulting in victories.
Head-to-head
The most recent encounter between the two teams took place in December of last year during the return match, resulting in a convincing 2-0 victory for Madrid. Real Madrid has emerged victorious in the last eight matches against Granada at this location.
Prediction
Madrid may not have all their key players available, but we anticipate that they will still overpower the home side. We predict that Mallorca will defeat Las Palmas, potentially leading to Granada’s relegation before their match against Madrid. As a result, it is unlikely that Granada will secure a positive outcome against Ancelotti’s squad.
