Real Madrid are back on top of the La Liga table, albeit only on goal difference. Very surprising Girona are level on points with Los Blancos, so Carlo Ancelotti’s men know that they have no room for error.
And although Granada sit right near the bottom of the table, in the relegation zone, they can’t really be overlooked given what happened on October 8.

It was then that Granada played Madrid’s arch-rivals, FC Barcelona, to a 2-2 draw. They took points then and they could do it again here, if Los Blancos take them lightly.
Madrid is dealing with a pretty severe injury crisis right now, so their depth is being tested and they can be had. Here is the best lineup possible, in our opinion, to avoid that.
Real Madrid Starting XI Prediction vs Granada
Andriy Lunin; Lucas Vazquez, Nacho, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy; Federico Valverde, Toni Kroos, Dani Ceballos; Jude Bellingham; Rodrygo, Joselu
