Struggling team Granada CF (2-6-5, 11 points) is scheduled to host second-running Atletico Madrid (9-2-2, 29 points) at the Estadio Los Carmenes on Saturday for a 2015-2016 La Liga game.

Granada currently sits at the 17th spot of the league table, just a point above the relegation bottom three teams as they have only managed to come up with a single victory in their last six matches.

El Graná is coming off a 2-2 draw with lowly Malaga at the Estadio La Rosaleda last Saturday, as reported by Sports Mole.

Los Boquerones' Brazilian forward Charles opened the scoring right at the halftime mark to put his club ahead by one at the interval.

Malaga midfielder Fernando Tissone was then sent off at the 53rd, but still the Anchovies scored another goal at the 57th courtesy of Pablo Fornals to make it 2-0.

Granada fought back valiantly in the game's last seven minutes with two scores from Youssef El-Arabi and Rubén Rochina three minutes apart from each other to level it at 2-2.

Meanwhile, Atleti nipped Espanyol, 1-0, at the Vicente Calderón Stadium also last Saturday to stay two points ahead of Real Madrid in the overall standings, via SkySports.

Antoine Griezmann provided the winner for Diego Simeone's squad right at the third minute as both teams were held scoreless for the rest of the match.

Los Colchoneros is currently on a three-game winning run and it is projected to extend in this game versus José Ramón Sandoval's men.

The predicted result is a 3-1 romp for Atletico Madrid.

Granada starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Andres; Lopes, Babin, Lomban, Biraghi; Castro, Agbo; Ibanez, Ustaritz, Ajayi; Penaranda

Atletico Madrid starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Oblak; Juanfran, Gimenez, Godin, Luis; Torres, Mendes, Niguez, Koke; Griezmann, Vietto
