Los Blancos are in a strong position to reclaim the Spanish top flight title from arch rivals Barcelona, but manager Zinedine Zidane has still been the subject of speculation in regards to what his future holds, especially after his comments about his Madrid future.
Nonetheless, Real will be strong favourites to defeat Granada and need to look no further for inspiration than their 4-2 win over these opponents from back in October 2019, a match in which Karim Benzema, Eden Hazard, Luka Modric and James Rodriguez all got their names on the score sheet.
Meanwhile, champions Barcelona will be away to Real Valladolid at Estadio Jose Zorrilla on Saturday at 6:30pm. The game will air on DStv SuperSport 7 and on GOtv SuperSport Select 2 and 4.

Atletico Madrid will back themselves to overcome Real Betis at the Wanda Metropolitano the same day at 9pm. The match will air on DStv SuperSport 7 and on GOtv SuperSport Select 4
The pick of this weekend’s Serie A matches is definitely game between Juventus and Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Saturday.

Juventus won 3-1 in Bergamo when they last faced Atalanta in November 2019, but La Dea’s confidence has grown so much since then that they will be confident of knocking the Scudetto holders off their stride.
If Atalanta can take points off Juve, then Lazio and Internazionale will need to capitalise in home matches against Sassuolo (Saturday afternoon) and Torino (Monday night) respectively.
