Real Madrid will entertain Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Saturday night as they look to secure a positive result at home in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to earn a hard-fought 2-1 win over Barcelona recently, which should give them a ton of confidence ahead of this game.
Xabi Alonso will set his side up in a 4-3-1-2 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this clash. Hence, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior will once again lead the charge for the Madrid giants up top.
4-3-1-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Valencia
Defence
Thibaut Courtois will function in between the sticks for Los Blancos after shipping in one goal in his last outing. Eder Militao will operate alongside Dean Huijsen at the heart of the Real Madrid backline as they look to keep the opposition attackers frustrated throughout the 90 minutes.
Federico Valverde will try to prove his worth as the right-back, while Alvaro Carreras looks to put in a good performance as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Fran Garcia, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dani Carvajal will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Arda Guler will anchor the midfield for Real Madrid as they look to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park and create some decent chances going forward.
Jude Bellingham will operate in the number ten position as he looks to create some clear-cut opportunities for others around him in the final third.
Brahim Diaz and Dani Ceballos will have to settle for a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe will lead the line for Los Blancos up top. They would both look to combine well and cause a lot of chaos for the opposition centre-backs in the final third.
Rodrygo and Gonzalo Garcia will make up the numbers on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Los Blancos are in need of a goal by then.
