Real Madrid – Granada Betting and Prediction LaLiga | 02/12/23

In a match between the leader and the penultimate team in LaLiga, there is hardly any point in predicting a result, especially when Real Madrid have to play at home and at one of the few times of the year when they have a whole week to recover from this appointment against Granada, but it is an interesting match to see how it could develop.

Another party at the Bernabéu

Madrid face an affordable day to maintain their lead and add their fourth win in a row, which would be their seventeenth in the first twenty games of the season. On the other hand, a Granada that has just lost 3-1 in Vitoria and has lost six of the seven league matches played.

To give value to the local victory, you can choose Madrid to win both at half-time and at the end of the match, as has happened in the last four matches and in nine of the ten most recent victories. Moreover, Granada have already lost at half-time in their last three away games in LaLiga, all of which ended with a Nasrid defeat.

Another big result can also be expected, after the Whites have scored at least three goals in their last four matches, but without forgetting that Granada is one of the teams in the bottom half of the table that scores the most. The problem for newcomer Alexander Medina’s side is their lack of defensive strength, having conceded eighteen goals in their seven league matches.

A chance to show off

Carlo Ancelotti successfully overcomes the challenge of casualty-forced rotations. While Luka Modric and Kepa Arrizabalaga could soon return to their positions, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Vinícius and Arda Güler remain ruled out, along with Thibaut Courtois and Éder Militao, opening the door for other teammates keen to show their full potential.

One of the most effective is Brahim Díaz, who despite being one of the Madrid players with the fewest minutes this season (surpassing only Dani Ceballos, Militao, Nico Paz and Gonzalo García), already has two goals and an assist. He had the pass to Rodrygo for the first White goal against Naples on Wednesday and in the previous Champions League match he took advantage of his property to open the scoring before the first half hour was up, so this Saturday he could also play a starring role. .

Action is also expected in the second half, as both Madrid and Granada are much more effective in front of goal after the break: 67.7% of White’s goals in LaLiga came in the second half, as well as 68.4% of Granada’s goals .
