Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Granada - La Liga

Published on: 21 November 2021

Real Madrid resume La Liga duties after the international break with a trip to face Granada.

Carlo Ancelotti's side are unbeaten in their last six outings in all competitions, with their goalless draw against Osasuna last month the only blot on their copybook since returning from the October internationals.

Los Blancos face a trip to Transnistria in midweek to face Sheriff in the Champions League, but Ancelotti will be keen for his players to maintain their focus on domestic duties as they hunt down Real Sociedad at the top of La Liga.

Here's how the Italian could line his side up this weekend.
