Sunday afternoon football in La Liga, as Real Madrid hosts Granada in the 29th round.
Real Madrid is coming after the loss in El Clasico at Camp Nou, dropping 4 points behind Barca in the standings … but actually it was one of Real’s best games in some time. Ancelotti’s team showed improvement and will now try to leave behind a very poor march of March and start fresh after the international break. For sure Los Blancos will come into this match with the objective to prove a point. Ancelotti will not rest any players and will field the best available lineup. Isco and Pepe are the only absentees for Real.

Granada is coming after a 0-0 home draw with Eibar to continue a long run of poor performances. It was a very important match and a win would have been pure gold for Granada … but in the end it was a good point seeing that all the other relegation threatened sides lost last round. Visitors are two points away from safety so obviously they will come to Bernabeu with huge determination, but probably they know themselves that they will not get anything vs. Real. Murillo and Perez are questionable … Colunga is out of the lineup for sure.
Granada is playing some of the worst football in La Liga at the moment and it does not look likely they can resist a hurt animal like Real Madrid … hosts will come in guns blazing looking to redeem themselves after the derby loss and the latest performances … also looking to stay within reach of Barcelona. Looking at the improvements Real made two weeks ago vs. Barca, they should be able to put on a healthy amount of goals past Granada.
My tip will be Real Madrid to win and cover a 2,5 goal handicap. As a side bet I can see Bale to score, he has been criticized lately (for good reason) but has been absolutely fantastic for Wales last weekend … so he will look to translate that form vs. Granada. But I`m sticking with the handicap bet. Correct score prediction: Real Madrid – Granada 4-0.
