Granada x Real Madrid – Palpite & Prognóstico (21.11.2021)

Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes will host Sunday’s La Liga game between Granada and Real Madrid. Los Granadinos aim to bounce from a 2-0 loss to Espanyol, but they will have a big fish to fry against Carlo Ancelotti’s troops. All Milla, Duarte, Ruiz, and Brice remain in the recovery room, while both Eteki and Gonalons are back to contention. Los Blancos, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Rayo Vallecano and Elche.

Even though Gareth Bale suffered an injury in his 100th cap for Wales at the weekend, away win should be considered as Real Madrid have been producing fine displays under Carlo Ancelotti. Granada suit Real Madrid and you should know that los Blancos are eyeing their 13th consecutive win over los Granadinos. In their last meeting at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes Real Madrid outclassed Granada 4-1.

HIGHLIGHTED PLAYER

Roberto Soldado

Roberto Soldado is regarded as one of the most famous footballers in the history of Villarreal. The meaning of his surname in Spanish is “the warrior” and it has to be noted that he began his football career at Real Madrid, playing from the B team between 2002 and 2006. The pacey attacker made 16 appearances and scored two goals for the first team, but he was producing the best performances of his career during his three-year spell at Valencia.

Soldado scored 59 goals in 101 appearances for los Che, but in 2013 he signed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £26 million. The Spanish attacker, who was born on 27 May, 1985 in Valencia, scored for the Spurs on his debut in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, but he netted the goal from the penalty spot.

Soldado failed to impress in the 2014/2015 Premier League campaign with Tottenham and, as a result, he was sold to Villarreal on 14 August, 2015. Speaking of his international career, the Villarreal attacker made his Spain debut in June, 2007 against Latvia.

HIGHLIGHTED TEAM
