Real Madrid will face off against Cadiz at the Nuevo Estadio Ramon de Carranza on Wednesday night as they look to return to winning ways in La Liga. Los Blancos were held to a scoreless draw by Getafe which has halted their momentum going into this midweek league clash.
Zinedine Zidane will probably revert to a 4-3-3 formation for this game and is expected to make a few changes to his starting XI later this week. Both Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos are likely to return to Zidane’s first team after they were rested versus Getafe last weekend. Furthermore, Casemiro and Nacho will be available for selection once again after they missed out on the last game due to suspension.
4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Cadiz
Defence
Thibaut Courtois will feature in between the sticks for the Madrid outfit after securing a clean sheet in his last league start. Eder Militao will operate alongside Nacho at the heart of Zidane’s defence as they look to keep the Cadiz attackers at bay throughout the 90 minutes.
Alvaro Odriozola will fill in at the right-back position while Marcelo looks to impress on the other side as the left-back. Zidane will give both of them the license to express themselves in the opposition half so that they can provide enough support to the front players in search of the three points.
Midfield
Los Blancos’ midfield could be comprised of Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Luka Modric as they try to dominate the game at the centre of the park and orchestrate some clear-cut chances for their teammates up top to win this game.
Isco and Sergio Arribas will be named on the bench as they offer cover for the midfield positions.
Attack
Vinicius Junior will be a guaranteed starter down the left flank while Marco Asensio looks to produce an influential display from the right. Karim Benzema is expected to spearhead Zidane’s attack down the middle. We can expect the French striker to carry most of the goal-scoring workload up top.
Rodrygo and Mariano Diaz will have to settle for a place on the bench as they await their chance to shine as the impact substitutes if Zidane decides to call upon their services.
