Granada CF vs. Atlético Madrid
We are all used to it, just before Christmas the winter break of the Bundesliga starts, which lasts until mid-January. In England, however, it is anything but striking that there is no such thing as a winter break. On the contrary. If anything, the games are played even more often. There is no real winter break in Spain either. There is more of a Christmas lull there. Only the weekend between 24 and 26 December is free of play. After that, play continues immediately. However, some La Liga teams still have to wait for their Christmas holiday, because a few catch-up games will be played in the next few days. For example, the match from matchday nine will be made up, in which Granada receive the guests from Madrid. Our Granada – Atletico betting tips will tell you everything you need to know.
