What is Real Madrid and Granada's form's form ahead of this match?
Real Madrid saw a three-game winning streak come to an end last weekend, but they are still unbeaten in the Spanish top-flight. Including all competitions, Real Madrid has drawn their two most recent games, with their goalless draw against Atlético and a 2-2 result against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League.
Granada is currently enjoying their best start in a La Liga season ever, especially with their current five-match streak without a loss. Four of those games have ended in a win for Granada, including two wins on the road, which makes them a dangerous visitor to ther Bernabeu this weekend.
What position do Real Madrid and Granada occupy prior to this game in La Liga?
Real Madrid enters this game as the best team in La Liga. Los Blancos drew their last game, but they picked up three wins in a row before that to cement their spot as the league leaders. The Spanish capital giants have vastly improved their defense, with three straight clean sheets in La Liga games. Speaking about the offensive department, Karim Benzema is the team's top scorer with five goals.
Granada is the second best team in the Spanish top-flight, with fourteen points to their name so far in the competition. Los Nazaríes have made quite an impression in the 2019-20 season, especially since they are yet to lose a game away from home (2 wins, 2 draws). Antonio Puertas is the team's best striker, with three goals in the competition.
Real Madrid vs Granada - Who's in and who's out
Marco Asensio, Ferland Mendy, Marcelo and Nacho have been ruled out for this game, which means that Zidane will have to improvise at left back, since his three options are out. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was subbed off during the game against Brugge due to illness, which means that Alphonse Areola could make a second La Liga start this time around.
Coach Diego Martínez may have to deal with up to five absences, as four players have been ruled out due to injury. Neyder Lozano, Fede Vico, Quini and Yan Eteki are unavailable, while Alex Martínez will undergo medical tests to determine his availability.
