Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad as they welcome them to Santiago Bernabeu to take all three points from this La Liga fixture. Los Blancos will come into the match on the back of an impressive 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid to advance into the semi-finals of the Copa Del Rey, so they will be looking to produce a similar result in this weekend’s encounter.
Carlo Ancelotti will probably opt for a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a few changes to the starting XI for this contest. Marco Asensio could play from the start as Valverde drops to the bench while Karim Benzema continues to lead the line down the middle.
4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted XI Vs Real Sociedad
Defence
Thibaut Courtois will continue to operate in between the sticks for Madrid looking to keep a clean sheet after conceding a goal in his last outing. Eder Militao will resume his defensive partnership with Antonio Rudiger at the heart of Real Madrid’s backline as they look to keep things solid at the back throughout the game.
Nacho Fernandez will keep his place as the right-back while Ferland Mendy hopes to give a good account of himself on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them could get the license to get forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Alvaro Odriozola will be available as he offers cover for the defensive positions from the bench.
Midfield
The talented trio of Toni Kroos, Eduardo Camamvinga and Luka Modric will anchor the midfield for Real Madrid as they focus on dominating the game at the centre of the park and engineering some clear-cut chances for their teammates to find the back of the net.
Dani Ceballos will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if required.
Attack
Vinicius Junior will continue in the left wing while Marco Asensio tries to make a difference from the right flank. Karim Benzema will lead the line for the Madrid outfit in the final third. The French striker will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net to get his name on the scoresheet again this midweek.
Rodrygo and Eden Hazard will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the latter stages of the game if Carlo Ancelotti opts to call upon their services.
