Granada and Real Madrid meet in a match in the 36th round of the League. The match will be played on Monday, at 21:00, at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes, without spectators.
Real Madrid seems to be unstoppable. Since the resumption of the season, Zinedine Zidane’s team has won on the line, and one of the main causes is defensive. The “Galactics” received only two goals in the last 8 stages, scoring 15 times. On Saturday, Barcelona managed to impose themselves at the limit on the field of Valladolid (1-0) and they were only one point closer to Real.
Granada also has an important goal in this season finale. Diego Martinez’s students are in 9th place, just one point away from the 7th place, currently occupied by Real Sociedad, the team that has only one success since the resumption of the season. The current form is also a convincing one, with two victories and a draw in the last three stages. However, Granada has problems at home, being without a victory in the last three matches played at home (two defeats and a draw).
Zidane’s team has shown more maturity since the resumption of the season. They did not impress with the number of goals scored, but they compensated defensively. We bet on a first half of the match with a maximum of one goal scored, but also on a success obtained by the guests, in a game with a maximum of four changes in the table.
-The two teams are in the 14th direct duel;
-Real won 12 of the 13 direct clashes with Granada (a defeat);
-Madrid have scored at least four times in the last three direct matches with Granada;
-Real has an average of over two goals scored in the previous six away games from Granada;
