Granada vs Real Madrid. Shape of the Teams

Real Madrid heads into this game as the newly crowned La Liga champions, but celebrations are postponed as Los Blancos want to celebrate with their fans at the Santiago Bernabéu.

According to Relevo, another reason is that, out of respect for Granada’s precarious league situation, Madrid opted not to flaunt their title in front of the relegation-threatened side.

Granada’s stay in La Liga does not only depend on them but also on their opponents. If nothing changes, Granada will be relegated. They are currently positioned second-to-last and five points behind Cádiz but the outcomes in other matches could affect their fate. 

While Granada hosts Real Madrid, Cádiz will be up against Getafe, and Almería will face Real Betis. These results could lead to a last-minute change in the table between Cádiz and Granada, though they are still likely to be relegated. 

As for Real Madrid, there is only one game that matters – the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund. Until then, Los Blancos will face Granada, Alavés, Villarreal and Real Betis.

These games will only serve as a warm up for the UCL Final, especially with the La Liga title in their pocket. Their primary goal will be to maintain squad fitness and form while giving opportunities to players who haven’t seen much action this season.This is also the perfect opportunity for Toni Kroos and other players to take a breather ahead of the European final.

Granada vs Real Madrid, Odds

While Real Madrid does not have much at stake for this game – Granada has everything to lose. However, it would be surprising to see the Andalusians stopping Carlo Ancelotti’s team. 

Granada represents the challenges of a stereotypical promoted club: limited transfer planning, a defense unable to keep up with La Liga’s pace, and the mid-season loss of their standout star Bryan Zaragoza to Bayern Munich. 

Some attacks thrive well in the Segunda División because of the lack of defensive mechanisms at this level, but the switch to the Primera often reveals that these attacks were not that great to begin with. Defences improve, the tempo is faster, and the margin for error narrows, and Granada found out the hard way. 

Real Madrid, on the other hand, has the firepower to overload Granada’s weak defence from all sides. Los Blancos are expected to turn the game into a ping-pong match, where the players of the opposite team cannot keep up with the intense tempo. Meanwhile, players like Rodrygo and Federico Valverde, whose pace and positioning could easily penetrate Granada’s lines, exploit the defensive lapses. 

With the exception of Atlético de Madrid, there hasn’t been a team that has found an answer to Ancelotti’s tactics. However, Atlético failed to be a real title challenger to Real throughout the competition as they lost crucial games, for example against Barcelona and Girona. 

Though Real Madrid might ease their intensity, Granada will struggle to contain their opponents due to their porous defense. The Andalusians have only kept a clean sheet on two occasions in the past ten games – which exhibits an obvious lack of defensive structure in a league where every tactical detail matters.

Granada FC vs Real Madrid Betting Tip

There are not many constants in football – besides eleven players, one ball to fight for and two nets. One more reliable element is that Rodrygo always ends up scoring, often in unexpected ways.  

The Brazilian is somewhat of an unsung hero due to his lack of the renowned ‘Jogo Bonito’, but between Champions League nights and other occasions, the Real Madrid forward has proven that he is among the world’s greats. 

He often becomes key when other stars vanish, and this could be a pattern that will be repeated this weekend – Rodrygo always strikes when you least expect him to.
