Real Madrid vs Granada CF - 06/02/2022
3203
There are four games to be played in the Spanish La Liga on Sunday the 6th of January including the meeting between Real Madrid and Granada.
The match will be played at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu and the hosts begin the weekend top of the table on 50 points while the visitors are in 14th place on 24 points.
Real Madrid come into the game on the back of a 1-0 loss at Athletic Club in the Copa del Rey quarter-final. It was a disappointing defeat for Real Madrid, who conceded a late goal to lose the match.
The only goal of the match came in the 89th minute and Real Madrid struggled to create chances for much of the game.
That result means Real Madrid have failed to win their last 2 fixtures in all competitions having previously been held to a 2-2 draw at home in La Liga by Elche.
However, having been 2-0 down in that match with 8 minutes remaining, Real Madrid were happy to take a point.
Home form in La Liga has been good and Real Madrid have remained undefeated in each of their last 21 league fixtures at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
In fact, Real Madrid are unbeaten in 38 of their last 40 matches in La Liga and have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of their 7 most recent home league games.
Granada make the trip to the capital having suffered a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Osasuna last time out. With the score 0-0 at half-time, it was Osasuna who came out with intent in the second half and scored 2 goals without reply to take maximum points.
That was the 4th successive game in La Liga without a victory for Granada and they are moving in the wrong direction. Prior to the loss at home against Osasuna, Granada were defeated 4-2 at Getafe and held to draws at home by Barcelona and away at Elche.
Away form in La Liga has been poor and Granada have failed to win any of their 5 most recent away fixtures.
In fact, Granada have recorded just a single victory from their last 13 away league games. Trends show Granada have conceded 2 or more goals in 3 of their last 5 league matches on the road.
Team news and Real Madrid are without Vinícius Júnior, who is suspended. Ferland Mendy, Sergio Arribas, and Karim Benzema are injured, with the latter a big miss.
Granada have just one injury concern and defender Santiago Arias could miss out due to a hamstring injury.
Real Madrid struggled without Benzema in attack on Thursday night but they should have enough to cope without the Frenchman in this game. We expect to see Real Madrid score over 2.5 goals on their way to maximum points.
