As the La Liga season draws to a close, fans anticipate an exciting clash between Real Madrid and Granada CF.
With Real Madrid eyeing their 28th league victory and Granada fighting relegation, the stakes couldn’t be higher for both teams.
Match Preview
Real Madrid’s performance this season has been remarkable, reaching their record 18th Champions League final in pursuit of their 15th title.
In the semi-finals, they staged another comeback, with Joselu emerging as the hero by scoring two late goals after coming off the bench.
Joselu’s first goal came in the 88th minute, shortly after his substitution, and he sealed the win with another goal in stoppage time, following a VAR review.
This victory, just days after reclaiming the La Liga title from Barcelona, marks Real Madrid’s 36th league title triumph.
Brahim Diaz and Joselu contributed to the win, with Jude Bellingham also impressing by scoring his 18th La Liga goal of the season in just 26 games.
Bellingham’s remarkable goalscoring record places him at the top of the La Liga goalscoring charts, trailing Artem Dovbyk by only two goals in the race for the Trofeo Pichichi. He could become the first midfielder to win the award this century.
Real Madrid’s recent successes include a 21-game unbeaten run since their Copa del Rey round of 16 defeat to city rivals Atletico Madrid.
They have suffered only one loss this season, along with a defeat to Atletico in La Liga in September, making Atletico Madrid the only team to defeat them this season.
On the other hand, Granada currently sits in 19th place and faces significant challenges in avoiding relegation, with an 11-point gap and only 12 points left to play for in La Liga.
A loss in this match would result in their relegation to the Segunda Division.
Prediction & Analysis:
Based on recent performances and team dynamics, Real Madrid is favored to claim victory against Granada CF.
With their potent attacking prowess and solid defensive stability, Real Madrid is expected to dominate proceedings and secure their 28th league win.
Additionally, considering Granada’s defensive vulnerabilities and desperate need for points, the match is likely to witness over 2.5 goals.
