Real Madrid will entertain Almeria at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Sunday afternoon as they look to grab all three points at home in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to earn a 1-0 win over Mallorca in their last league outing, so we can expect them to be full of confidence ahead of this game.
Carlo Ancelotti will set his team up in a 4-3-1-2 formation and could name a strong starting XI this weekend. Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. will lead the line for the Madrid giants in the attacking end of the field.
4-3-1-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Almeria
Defence
Andriy Lunin will feature in between the sticks for Los Blancos as he looks to secure another clean sheet at the Bernabeu. Nacho will function alongside Antonio Rudiger at the centre of the Real Madrid backline as they look to keep the opposition attackers frustrated throughout the game.
Dani Carvajal will fill in as the right-back while Ferland Mendy hopes to impress on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them would be eager to get forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.
Both Lucas Vazquez and David Alaba remain sidelined because of injuries. However, Fran Garcia should be available on the bench as he offers cover for the left-back position.
Midfield
Toni Kroos, Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde will make up Ancelotti’s midfield. Their main job would be to retain possession well and engineer some decent chances in the final third.
Jude Bellingham will once again operate in the number ten position and would carry most of the creative burden for the Madrid outfit in the final third.
Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they wait for their opportunity to impress in the second half if needed.
Attack
Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. will spearhead Real Madrid’s attack up top. Both of them need to combine well so that they can cause a lot of headaches for the Almeria defenders during the 90 minutes.
Joselu will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if Ancelotti’s side are in need of a goal by then.
