Real Madrid will clash heads with Real Betis at the Estadio Benito Villamarín on Sunday night hoping to build on their 2-0 victory over Barcelona earlier this month. Los Blancos will need a win this weekend to ensure that they keep their place at the top of the La Liga table.
Zinedine Zidane will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and might be inclined to name an unchanged team for this league encounter at Seville.
4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Real Betis
Defence
Thibaut Courtois will retain his spot as the first-choice keeper for Los Blancos after securing a crucial clean sheet versus the Catalans. Sergio Ramos will resume his defensive duties alongside Raphaël Varane at the heart of the Madrid backline.
Dani Carvajal is a nailed-on starter in the right-back position while Marcelo looks to make some driving runs on the other side as the left-back. Both Madrid full-backs will hope to push high up the field so that they can create some decent chances for the front three.
Midfield
Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Federico Valverde will make up Zidane’s midfield for this tricky contest against Rubi’s men. The midfield trio will be responsible for cooking up some inviting opportunities for the front players. Casemiro will also try to provide adequate cover for the Madrid backline by reading the danger quickly and covering a lot of ground inside his own half.
Luka Modrić will be available for selection on the Madrid bench. He might get a chance to influence the game if Zidane calls upon his services.
Attack
The Madrid frontline will be comprised of Vinicius Junior, Karim Benzema and Isco up top. The attacking trio linked up with each other quite effectively against Barca in the previous gameweek. Both Isco and Vinicius Junior have been amongst the goals of late, so they will be in high spirits heading into this clash versus Betis.
Luka Jovic, Rodrygo and Gareth Bale will make up the numbers on Zidane’s bench.
