Real Madrid will welcome Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Sunday afternoon as they look to secure all three points at home in the Clasico. Los Blancos secured a narrow 1-0 win over Juventus earlier this week, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.
Xabi Alonso will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to name a strong first XI for this clash. Eduardo Camavinga and Franco Mastantuono could both play from the start of this game.
4-2-3-1 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Barcelona
Defence
Thibaut Courtois will feature in between the sticks for Los Blancos after he kept a clean sheet in his last appearance. Eder Militao will operate alongside Aurelien Tchouameni at the heart of the Real Madrid backline as they hope to keep a solid shape on the defensive end of the field.
Federico Valverde will try to prove his worth as the right-back, while Alvaro Carreras hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will try to go forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Fran Garcia will offer cover for the left-back position on the bench.
Midfield
Eduardo Camavinga will anchor the midfield along with Jude Bellingham as they try to establish their dominance at the centre of the park.
The talented trio of Vinicius Junior, Arda Guler and Franco Mastantuono will operate just ahead of them as part of Alonso’s attack. All three of them need to combine well if the Madrid giants are to earn a convincing win in the Clasico.
Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo will have to be content with a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second half if required.
Attack
Kylian Mbappe will lead the charge for the Madrid outfit up top. He would be eager to return to his goal-scoring ways after failing to find the back of the net against Juventus recently.
Gonzalo Garcia will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Real Madrid are in need of a goal by then.
