Madrid, November 20, : .Real Madrid visits Granada Sunday.
This is the beginning of a hectic five-week period between now and Christmas.Real Madrid has five La Liga matches to play, and Real Madrid will also have two more league matches (both against Athletic Club Bilbao), as well as two Champions League group matches.This is a time when coach Carlo Ancelotti may have to change his team as often as possible.
Ancelotti’s team should be able to score three points against fourth-from-bottom Granada on Sunday.However, Real Madrid recently played games against Shakhtar Donetsk, Rayo Vallecano and Rayo Vallecano.Questions were raised about Real Madrid’s defense after Rayo managed more shots in the Bernabeu a week ago.
Granada might be in trouble, but they are still able to attack with plenty of firepower.Luis Suarez, a Colombian center forward, leads the charge, supported by veteran Jorge Molina and Darwin Machis, according to Xinhua.
Ancelotti is without Gareth Bale once more, as the Welsh international sustained a calf injury while on the international break.Fede Valverde has also been sidelined, and Rodrygo, the Brazilian winger, is doubtful about his fitness.
Both striker KarimBenzema as well as winger Vinicius Jr remain available.Ancelotti will again look at the pair to support his attacking play.
Lucas Vazquez or Marco Asensio can fill in the left.
Ancelotti will likely use Casemiro and Toni Kroos as his first choice midfielders, while Eduardo Camavigna is still waiting to be called up.
Eden Hazard looks set to remain on the bench.Every game that the Belgian does not start makes his exit from the club more probable.
Ferland Mendy and Eder Militao will continue to play in the back, as well as Dani Carvajal, David Alaba and David Alaba.
Real would love to score an early goal on Sunday.
This would give them an edge and possibly even turn the Los Carmenes Stadium crowd against Robert Moreno.He has been dragged out by the crowd and could be fired from Real, which he joined only this summer.
