Real Madrid will face off against Cacereno at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Tuesday night as they hope to secure a win in the Copa del Rey. Los Blancos managed to earn a 2-0 victory away at Real Valladolid recently which will keep them in high spirits ahead of this game.
Carlo Ancelotti will opt for a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name a strong team for this game. Both Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga are expected to play from the start in this cup game while Dani Ceballos and Toni Kroos get a rest on the bench.
4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Cacereno
Defence
Andriy Lunin could get a chance to impress in goal for Los Blancos as Ancelotti looks to hand Thibaut Courtois a rest. Nacho will probably get the nod to feature alongside David Alaba at the heart of Real Madrid’s defence as they try to keep the opposition at bay during the 90 minutes.
Lucas Vazquez will be given the opportunity to fill in as the right-back while Ferland Mendy hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves in the Cacereno half.
Antonio Rudiger will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Luka Modric will anchor the midfield for the Madrid giants as they try to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park and engineer some clear-cut chances in the final third. Modric will have to carry most of the creative burden for Real Madrid in the opponent’s half.
Toni Kroos and Dani Ceballos will be available for selection on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if Ancelotti decides to call upon their services.
Attack
Eden Hazard will get another chance to impress as the left-sided wide player while Rodrygo hopes to catch the eye from the right flank. Ancelotti will ask both of them to stretch the opposition defence and deliver some decent service to Karim Benzema, who will lead the line for Los Blancos on the attacking end of the field.
Marco Asensio will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if Real Madrid are in need of a goal by then.
