Real Madrid will entertain Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Saturday night as they look to earn a win at home in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to secure a 5-2 win over Borussia Dortmund in midweek which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this Clasico.
Carlo Ancelotti will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first XI for this game. Andriy Lunin, Aurelian Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga could play from the start of this contest.
4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Barcelona
Defence
Andriy Lunin will operate in goal for Los Blancos after being rested in midweek. Antonio Rudiger will play alongside Eder Militao at the centre of the Real Madrid backline as they hope to keep things solid at the back throughout the 90 minutes.
Lucas Vazquez will try to catch the eye as the right-back while Ferland Mendy looks to give a good account of himself on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will have to perform their defensive duties well before trying to offer some decent services to their teammates up top.
Fran Garcia and Jesus Vallejo will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde will make up Real Madrid’s midfield. The gifted trio would look to dictate the tempo of the game in the middle of the park and create some inviting chances in the final third.
Luka Modric will have to be content with a place on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if Ancelotti opts to call upon his services.
Attack
Vinicius Jr. will try to make a difference on the left wing while Jude Bellingham looks to shine as the right-sided wide player. Kylian Mbappe will lead the charge for the Madrid club on the offensive end of the pitch.
Endrick and Arda Guler will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter of the game if Los Blancos are in need of a goal by then.
