Granada have made an excellent start to the season and currently sit second in the table behind today’s opponents. Diego Martinez’s side have won four of their last five home games, but they now face a difficult test against Real Madrid who they have not beaten in the league since 2013.
This encounter sees Spain’s top two sides of the season so far meet at the Bernabeu, with Real Madrid aiming to maintain their spot at the top of the table. Zinedine Zidane’s side may have had some issues in the Champions League, but this has not been the case domestically as they are the only side yet to lose a game in La Liga.
