The live action in La Liga on Monday night will see Atletico Madrid travel to Granada. The visitors will be in need of maximum points, as they look to close the gap on the sides currently sitting in the Champions League positions.
La Liga Preview
There will be pressure on Atletico Madrid this weekend, as the Spanish club will be expected to pick up maximum points in order to close the gap on the Champions League positions. Atletico have suffered five defeats in 19 matches this term, which is the most of any side sitting in the top seven positions in the league table.
The Spanish giants have also fallen to defeats regularly over their last five matches, as they have suffered two defeats in their last four. Over the same period, they have recorded just a single victory. A response will be needed this weekend after they were beaten in their last league fixture by Girona on January 3.
Granada will be the massive outsiders in the betting to claim victory on Monday evening, as the Spanish side have struggled for form throughout the season. They come into this weekend having recorded just two victories from 20 matches this term, and they have the second worst defensive record in the competition after conceding 41 goals.
Granada have also suffered three defeats in their last four matches, which includes a loss in their previous outing in La Liga. Their most recent defeat was suffered last weekend, as they fell to a 1-0 loss at Real Betis. Granada offered little in the final third of that match, registering just two shots on target.
Granada vs Atletico Madrid Head to Head
Atletico have experienced huge success in this fixture, registering 14 wins in the 19 previous encounters between the sides across all competitions. Over the same period, Granada have recorded just a single victory. Atletico continued their winning sequence in this fixture in August, landing a 3-1 home success against their rivals.
Granada vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Atletico aren’t in the best form coming into this fixture, but they should have far too much in the attacking third for Granada. Therefore, we will be siding with the away side landing victory by at least a two-goal winning margin on Monday evening.
