Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Home win – 1.30
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Atletico Madrid win and Total Goals over 2.5 – 1.88
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three – Atletico Madrid to win second half – 1.51
The hosts have won their last 9 home fixtures against Granada in all competitions. The upcoming clash is too important for the guest, but we believe that Atletico Madrid will be the winner.
Atletico are the team whose home matches have most often ended with over 2.5 total goals. Playing at Wanda Metropolitano in front of the fans, we think Los Colchoneros attacking level will be very high. Therefore, it is very likely that this match will also have more than 2.5 total goals.
Diego Simeone’s side have been winning at both half time and full time in their last 5 home fixtures against Granada in all competitions. Thus, we think that Atletico will be able to win at least the second half of this match. Moreover, we mentioned that the visitors have conceded more goals in the second period of the game, neither in the first half.
Diego Simeone’s side current La Liga campaign have been marked by their big defensive weakness, which is unusual for a team whose main weapon is exactly how well they defend. In fact, in 32 games this season, they have already conceded more goals than in the whole of last season.
Moreover, this season Atletico are undoubtedly the team that plays better away than at home. Of their 60 total points, 36 came away from the Madrid side.

Coming into this match, Granada have sacked Ruben Torrecilla.
Former Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest and Birmingham manager Aitor Karanka has taken charge of the team. The Andalucian side are 16th in the Spanish Primera standings, 1 point above the drop zone with 6 games to go.
The visitors’ last five Spanish Primera fixtures have had 21 goals, with only 8 of them in favour of the Nazaríes.
In addition, of the 13 goals conceded in their last five games, 8 of them were conceded in the second half, so it can be said that this team is quite weak in the second period of the game.
Moreover, Granada have conceded the most goals so far in the stretch of minutes between 76 and 90 minutes, with 16 goals out of the 33 total goals conceded.
