Atletico Madrid vs Granada prediction
Atletico Madrid will be looking to get off this season’s campaign on a high note when they welcome Granada to the Wanda Metropolitana. Diego Simeone’s charges finished third in the Spanish top flight after a spirited campaign that once again saw them push La Liga perennial winners Barcelona and Real Madrid every step of the way. They however couldn’t sustain the fight as Barcelona built up a sizeable cushion and eventually strolled to the title when the dust finally settled. Starting at home should get them fired up and the expectant home crowd will be eagerly anticipating a comfortable victory here.
Barely a season after getting relegated from La Liga to the 2nd tier division, Granada worked their way back to the top flight outright after topping La Liga 2 at the end of last season. Their main objective for the season will certainly be survival. Key to that will be keeping things tight at the back when they face the top sides and trying to get as many points as they can against the teams in the lower half of the table. This opening game of the season is certainly a baptism of fire and they will approach it with lots of caution.
As we take a closer look at our Atletico Madrid v Granada predictions, the expectation here is for the home side to dominate proceedings from the get-go. We nevertheless expect the visitors Granada to put up some resistance and therefore the game is likely to shape up into a defensive display!

Prediction 2: BTTS NO
Atletico have built a reputation for playing hard-nosed defense. This particular fixture has also not had fireworks in recent years. Actually, just 6 of their last 19 head-to-head encounters have witnessed goals at both ends of the pitch. Given the significance of the opening day of the season, we expect both teams to dig in and this is likely to see few scoring chances either way! As such, we are backing the trend to hold.

Prediction 3: 1st Half Under 1.5 Goals
Again, sticking to this theme of a dearth of goals in our Atletico Madrid v Granada prediction, we expect the opening half of this game to be a real slugfest with both teams keeping their cards close to their chests. In the last 7 meetings between these sides, only one had more than a goal in the opening period. As such we are predicting the opening half of this game will have no more than a goal scored
