Atl. Madrid – Granada CF : Preview & Prediction
Atletico Madrid were lucky to win 2-1 at Espanyol on Sunday in the final round of La Liga. It’s the first time that a team has been able to win a match in the Spanish top flight,” he said, adding: “I’m not sure I’m going to be able to do it. It was the best result of the round, as Real Madrid moved five points clear of third-placed Real Sociedad and three ahead of Betis Sevilla, who played out a 0-0 draw on Friday. Diego Simeone’s side are on a good run in La Liga with 7 wins in the last 8 games and they held off Manchester City (0-1 and 0-0) in the quarter-finals of the Champions League a few days ago. Granada, in 16th place, are just one point ahead of Cadiz CF, in 18th place and first relegation zone, who travel to Barcelona this Monday to close out the round of 32. The Andalusian side have taken just five points from their last 12 games, too few to hope for a better finish. Jorge Molina’s eight-goal haul has put the Andalusians under pressure, and the final sprint for survival looks set to be a tense one. The team coached by Ruben Torrecilla was beaten by Rayo Vallecano (2-2) at home on April 3rd, and has just suffered two defeats in their last two games at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan against Sevilla (4-2) and at home against Levante (1-4), who are only 19th in La Liga. The damage is deep for Granada who will not be able to count on their defender German Sanchez who was sent off in the last game.
Atletico Madrid need all 3 points to consolidate their 4th place.
Grenada are 16th and close to the relegation zone.
In the last 10 years, Los Colchoneros have always beaten Granada at home: 8 wins in as many games.
Madrid are on a four-game winning streak in La Liga at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Grenade have lost 5 of their last 6 league games.
Atletico Madrid should make it 9 wins in a row against a slumping Granada side at the Wanda Metropolitano.
