Granada Preview – Tough home game
With a W2 D5 L5 record this season, it has not been an easy campaign for Granada in the Spanish top flight.
They did improve to take a W2 D2 L1 record in their final five games before the recent international break.
One of those victories came at home against Sevilla, who are currently sitting third in the table.
So Granada could take some positives from that.
But in the match outright for Sunday’s league game, there’s a 6/1 quote on them to beat Real Madrid* (odds recorded 1911 GMT on November 18th 2021).
Granada’s home record is W1 D2 L2 thanks to that 1-0 success over Sevilla, which is the only home clean sheet that they have taken.
Granada are undefeated in their last two La Liga home games (W1 D1).
5 of Granada’s last 6 home matches (home and away) have ended under 2.5 goals.
Under 2.5 goals on Sunday is at a quote of 11/8* (odds recorded 1911 GMT on November 18th 2021).

Real Madrid Preview – Three points for Madrid?
Going into the recent international break, Real Madrid were trailing league leaders Real Sociedad by a single point.
Madrid have won their last two league fixtures and are undefeated in four (W3 D1).
They have suffered only one league defeat this season, which did happen in one of their away games.
That was a 2-1 loss at Espanyol in early October.
But that’s merely a blip, as Real Madrid’s away record this season is W5 D1 L1.
They have averaged over two goals per away game as well and 86% of their road fixtures have finished over 2.5 goals.
Part of the reason for that is that Madrid haven’t looked particularly great at the back.
To that end, they have only earned one road clean sheet all season and none in their last four away games.
