Real Madrid will entertain Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Saturday night as they look to secure a positive result at home in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to earn a 3-0 victory against Braga in midweek which will keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.
Carlo Ancelotti will set his players up in a 4-3-1-2 formation once again and could make a few tweaks to his first XI. Both Fran Garcia and Dani Carvajal will play from the start of this contest as Ancelotti looks to find the winning formula this weekend.
4-3-1-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Valencia
Defence
Andriy Lunin will resume his duties in goal for the Spanish club after he kept a clean sheet in midweek. David Alaba will play alongside Nacho at the heart of Real Madrid’s backline as they look to keep the Valencia attackers quiet during the game.
Dani Carvajal will fill in as the right-back while Fran Garcia hopes to prove his worth on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves in the final third.
Antonio Rudiger will offer cover for the centre-back positions on the bench.
Midfield
Eduardo Camavinga, Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde will anchor the midfield for Real Madrid as they try to control the flow of the game at the centre of the park. Jude Bellingham will play just ahead of them in the number ten position. He would have to carry most of the creative burden for Los Blancos up top.
Luka Modric will be named on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second half if Ancelotti opts to call upon his services.
Attack
Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. will lead the line for the Madrid giants in the final third. They will both have to be at the top of their game if Real Madrid are to secure all three points in La Liga this weekend.
Brahim Diaz will have to settle for a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if required.
