Granada CF vs Real Madrid tips and predictions

Deadlock beckons as unfancied hosts look to spoil the party

The short price for Real Madrid renders them a no-bet. Granada CF don't look likely to get the win but they might cause the visitors plenty of problems. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick and the draw odds available in the match winner market look like pretty good value.

These sides have impressed at the back. Not giving much away on their own paddock, Granada CF have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches and Real Madrid have only conceded 0.8 goals per game on average in their last 4 away matches.

Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the massive favouritism for Los Blancos. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market.

Granada CF have drawn 6 of their last 14 matches on their own soil adding to the fact that Real Madrid have drawn 4 of their last 7 matches on the road. This will probably be a low-scoring affair but with nothing of note in the match odds for either team, the value you can get in the draw price makes it the pick for this game.
