Christian Post Report – Real Madrid host Granada at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in the Spanish La Liga on Sunday, with the game set to start at 6:00 a.m. ET, and the match available to watch on live stream (details below).
Madrid’s form has dropped in their recent La Liga matches as they have only won one in their last four matches.
They drew 1-1 against Villarreal at home before losing 1-0 to Athletic Club in the next game.
Madrid rebounded with a 2-0 win against Levante to possibly give them momentum ahead of their El Clasico against Barcelona.
Unfortunately, Madrid lost 2-1 at Camp Nou as Cristiano Ronaldo’s equaliser was erased by Luis Suarez’s goal in the 56th minute of the match.
As a result, Madrid are now four points behind Barcelona in the race atop the table. With only a handful of games remaining, they must string together some wins and hope that the Catalans drop points if they want to emerge as champions.
Meanwhile, Granada are 19th in the league and are in danger of being relegated.
They have only collected four points in their last five league fixtures and are two points from safety.
Their last win came against Malaga but they have lost matches against Levante, Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano.
In their last La Liga game, they drew 0-0 against Eibar at home to get a consolation point.
When Granada and Real first played this season, Real dominated the game as they won 4-0 at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes.
Ronaldo opened the scoring early in the second minute of the match, before James Rodriguez doubled their lead in the 31st.
Carrying a two-goal lead into the second half, Karim Benzema then made it three for Real with a strike in the 54th minute, before Rodriguez secured his brace in the 86th of the match.
The last time Granada won over Madrid was back in February 2013 and Madrid have won three straight.
