Real Madrid visits Granada CF in a matchup that is dead rubber at both ends of the table. For the visitors, the La Liga title has already been clinched. For the hosts, they are already relegated, so this match will just be a quasi-friendly. For Los Blancos, the focus now shifts entirely to June 1, at Wembley Stadium, London, UK.
That is when they’ll face Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League final.

With that in mind, you can expect Carlo Ancelotti to empty his bench in this one, and we’ll no doubt see a lot of reserves and squad players in the starting lineup. You’ll see that below in our 4-3-3 prediction.
