Real Madrid look to win their fifth home league game of the season. They went second in La Liga after beating Eibar on Sunday and host sixth placed Granada. Real are level on points with leaders Atletico Madrid but have played two games more than them. Sunday saw them go 2-0 up inside 13 minutes at Eibar but had to wait until the 92nd minute for their third. The win was their fourth straight league win. While four home La Liga games have been won by Real, two have been lost. They were both surprising defeats though with Alaves and Cadiz claiming those victories. The last two have been won against league leaders Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. Three of the last four home matches in La Liga have seen over 2.5 goals scored and both teams score. Home and away, 

Granada won 2-0 at home on Sunday with Roberto Soldado scoring both goals in the first half, his first goals since September. That was their second league win in a row and they are now seventh eight points behind their opponents but with a game in hand. Away form has seen them win just two of their six league games with three losses. Their six games have seen them score just five goals with 12 conceded. Their most recent away league match saw them win 1-0 at Elche but they had lost the two before that. They will hope to avoid repeat performances of their games at Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo. Atletico put six past them and Celta three. That doesn’t bode too well for this latest trip to Madrid and the tip is for Real to win and lead at both half and full time.
