Projected lineups: Granada vs Real Madrid, la Liga 2016

It's fairly easy to predict Zinedine Zidane's lineups so far. The French manager has not made rotations to his team yet as his players are still playing one game a week. Casemiro, Kovacic and Jesé are waiting for a chance to play and prove their worth but they will have to wait until the Champions League's Round of 16 kicks off in a few weeks.

Real Madrid Projected XI: Keylor, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Kroos, Modric, Isco, James, Ronaldo, Benzema.

Granada Projected XI: Andrés, Foulquier, Lombán, Babin, Biraghi, Rico, Pérez, Success, Rochina, Peñaranda, Barral.

Real Madrid probably deserved to beat Betis a few weeks ago but they did not start the game focused enough and conceded an early goal that prevented them drom getting the three points down the road. Zidane admitted that they must improve that in order to control the game at all times to keep the race for La Liga alive.
