The leader of the Spanish elite division will host Granada, one of the outsiders of the current championship, within the 17th round of Primera on forthcoming Saturday at their home ground. Bookmakers have set a miserable action line for the Southerners, in which Granada go as clear outsiders. It is hard to disagree with such digits, especially after Real’s confident win in the Spanish Cup against Sevilla 3:0, wherein one should consider, that the strongest and the most creative players of Blancos didn’t take part in the game.
Zinedine Zidane even before the start of the season said, that Real’s priority in 2016-17 season are the victories in Primera and the Spanish Cup. Therefore, there is nothing surprising about the fact, that even in the cup matches Blancos perform with maximum motivation. The Royals have had eight matches at their home ground, in which they had six victories with two draws, and the goal difference is 19:9.
Granada in its turn, do not perform well in away matches. The Southerners have had eight matches outside their native walls within Primera by far, in which they had three draws and five defeats. In the last two matches, Granada lost twice to Osasuna and Real Sociedad, without scoring any goals.
Real Madrid look very good both in attack and defense. Zinedine Zidane has managed to find the necessary combination of footballers on the pitch to get a result. Granada in its turn look pretty weak in general, especially in away matches.
Prediction for the match: Granada not to score.
