Granada CF hosts Real Madrid in round 36 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, May 13th at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes (Granada)
Granada CF is ranked 10th in the LaLiga standings (45 points after 35 matches). The Nasrids have 13 victories, six draws, and 16 losses. Diego Martinez's men lost in the second match in a row in the Spanish Championship. After a home defeat to Cadiz (0-1), the Nasrids did not cope with Betis on May 10 (2-1). Despite a goal scored by Darwin Maches, the Sevillians earned three points thanks to Borja Iglesias' double, who scored the decisive goal in the 87th minute. Failure in the match against Betis actually nullified the chances of Granada players to wedge themselves into the struggle for a place in European cups. With three rounds to go to the end of the season, the Nasrids are seven points behind Villarreal, which is in 7th position.

Real Madrid is in 3rd place in the standings (75 points after 35 rounds). Zinedine Zidane's men have chalked up 22 wins, nine draws, and four defeats. After relegation from the Champions League semifinals due to defeat to Chelsea (1-1 and 2-0), Real Madrid came close to a fiasco in their home league match against Sevilla. The game, which took place in Madrid on May 9, ended in a battling draw (2-2). It is noteworthy that Galacticos had to chase the lead twice after the goals of Fernando and Ivan Rakitic (from the penalty spot). Real Madrid had to thank Marco Asensio and Eden Hazard, from whom the ball ricocheted after a long-range shot by Toni Kroos. A curious goal in added time kept Real Madrid's chances for the title. Zidane's team is two points behind Atlético. To win the championship, the Whites need victories over Granada, Athletic Bilbao, and Villarreal, provided there is at least one mistake from the Mattress Makers.
The last time Granada beat Real Madrid was in February 2013 (1-0). The first head-to-head match of this season, which took place in Madrid on December 23, ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of the home team. Casemiro and Karim Benzema scored goals for Galacticos. Real Madrid is a clear favorite of the upcoming game. The Whites have an advantage in the class, the history of head-to-head meetings, and the fact that the Nasrids have de facto lost their tournament motivation in the remaining matches. On the other hand, Granada has the right to count on at least one goal scored in the upcoming match. Galacticos continue to experience notable staffing problems in the defensive line, and this could help the hosts, who have scored in four out of the last five rounds of the Spanish Championship. Moreover, they upset Real Madrid in two of three previous head-to-head meetings.
Prediction for the match: Granada CF to score over 0.5 goals
