Real Madrid will entertain Real Valladolid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday as they look to secure a positive result at home in La Liga. Los Blancos were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw away at Mallorca recently, so they would be keen on earning all three points this weekend.
Carlo Ancelotti will opt for the 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make one change to his first team for this game. Fran Garcia will get an opportunity to play from the start of this contest as Ferland Mendy is suspended for this clash.
4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Real Valladolid
Defence
Thibaut Courtois will operate in between the sticks for the Madrid giants after shipping in one goal in his last league appearance. Antonio Rudiger will continue to function alongside Eder Militao at the centre of the Real Madrid defence as they try to keep things solid at the back throughout the game.
Dani Carvajal will play as the right-back while Fran Garcia looks to impress on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them would be eager to get forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Lucas Vazquez will offer cover for the right-back position on the bench.
Midfield
Jude Bellingham, Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde will make up Los Blancos’ midfield. The gifted trio would have to move the ball well so that they can orchestrate some clear-cut chances for their teammates up top.
Luka Modric and Dani Ceballos will have to settle for a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if required.
Attack
Vinicius Jr. will try to give a good account of himself on the left flank while Rodrygo hopes to catch the eye as the right-sided wide player. Kylian Mbappe will spearhead Ancelotti’s attack down the middle. The French striker would be eager to find the back of the net in this game after he failed to do so against Mallorca last weekend.
Arda Guler will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he awaits his opportunity to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if Los Blancos need a goal by then.
