Real Madrid will be looking to take another huge step towards winning La Liga when they travel to Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes to face Granada on Monday night. Los Blancos are just two victories away from clinching the title, but Granada have top-six ambitions and will enter this match off the back of a three-game unbeaten run in Spain’s top flight.

Granada’s recent form must be respected, but it is difficult to see the home side stopping Madrid on Monday night. Zidane’s side are well on course to lift the title, and we fancy them to put another hugely important victory on the board ahead of their final two matches of the campaign against Villarreal and Leganes.

Heading into this game, Zinedine Zidane will be boosted by the return of two experienced defenders in Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal. Marcelo, however, is set to miss the remaining league matches, thus making Ferland Mendy a guaranteed starter at left-back.

Real Madrid are favourites to come away with victors in these fixtures due to multiple reasons. Zidane’s men are now better fortified at the back following the return of Ramos and Carvajal while Hazard if he starts, can make an impact.

Expect the visitors, therefore, to dominate the proceedings and probe the Granada defence, which is likely to crumble against the sheer quality of the Madrid attackers.

Real Madrid’s 2-0 success over Alavés (July 10) left them two wins away from the title and made it a perfect eight-game return post-resumption (GF 15, GA 2). That victory snapped a run of three straight wins via a one-goal margin, and they’ve notably won the last three LL H2Hs by 2+ goals.

Away from home, ‘Los Blancos’ have not drawn in eight league games (W6, L2) while scoring first in 52.94% of away league games this term has yielded a perfect record (W9, D/L0). Also impressive is their 78.57% unbeaten rate in LL away matches entered as favourites this season (W9, D2, L3)
