Atletico Madrid vs Granada Prediction

Atletico Madrid Form

Atletico Madrid have gone unbeaten in their previous three matches, which included a 3-3 draw with Espanyol, a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad, and a 2-2 draw with Villarreal. Atletico Madrid took six wins in their last six La Liga matches on home soil, as they scored 16 and let in four goals.

The big goal of the season for Atletico Madrid is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top three at least should be possible in the upcoming La Liga season.

Granada Form

In their last three matches, Granada first beat Lugo 2-0, then CD Mirandes by 1-3 and finally Leganes by 2-0. Granada, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn one and lost three in their last six away in the La Liga.

Most people expect Granada to face a hard battle to avoid relegation from the La Liga for most of the season. This is a fiercely competitive league each year, and they seem to be lacking in quality.

The way Atletico Madrid are performing right, a home win looks the most likely outcome, when Granada swing by. The visitors don't seem to possess enough stability currently to prevent the home side from a win.
