Granada vs Atletico Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Granada’s push to get out of the relegation zone sees them come up against the top-four push of Atlético Madrid. This La Liga matchday 21 will be played at the Los Cármenes stadium on Monday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 19th with 11 points while the visitors are 5th with 38 points. Granada are five points from safety ahead of this round and need points to make sure they don’t fall further behind in the race to beat the drop. Their recent form though, is not one to be motivated about. The hosts have lost 1-0 to Real Betis in their last match which was their eighth loss in their last 11 league matches. This sequence has seen them win just once, which came against another relegation battler Cadiz. That was a victory achieved at this venue, although it was their only win across eight home league games.

Atlético are only three points behind third-placed Athletic Club and fourth-placed Barcelona which means a win here will be a huge boost to their top-four chances. The visitors are coming off a morale-boosting 4-2 win over Real Madrid via extra time in the Copa del Rey competition. That continued their see-saw form though, making it three wins and two draws in all competitions. League form is a bit dicey too with three defeats and two wins across their last six La Liga matches. They lost their last league game to Girona, but are yet to lose consecutive matches in this La Liga campaign. Yet, their away form is something to be worried about as Atlético have lost their last four road trips in the league.
