Courtois, Vinicius Jr. And Valverde To Start | 4-4-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Sevilla

Real Madrid will entertain Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Saturday as they look to secure a good result at home in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to earn a hard-fought 3-2 win away at Talavera recently, which should keep them in good spirits going into this game.

Xabi Alonso will set his players up in a 4-4-2 formation and is expected to revert to his strongest XI for this clash. Thibaut Courtois, Vinicius Junior, and Federico Valverde could all play from the start of this game.

4-4-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Sevilla

Defence

Thibaut Courtois will feature in between the sticks for the Madrid giants after he was rested in midweek. Dean Huijsen will function alongside Antonio Rudiger at the centre of the Real Madrid backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.

Federico Valverde will try to put in a good performance as the right-back, while Fran Garcia looks to impress on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.

David Jimenez will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Aurelian Tchouameni and Arda Guler will anchor the midfield for the Madrid club as they look to win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park.

Vinicius Jr. will try to put his pace to good use on the left flank, while Rodrygo looks to prove his worth on the right wing. Both of them will try to go in behind the Sevilla backline at every chance they can get.

Franco Mastantuono and Dani Ceballos will make up the numbers on the bench as they await their chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham will lead the line for Los Blancos up top. They would both have to combine well if Real Madrid are to secure a convincing win this weekend.

Gonalo Garcia and Endrick will have to settle for a place on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages if Los Blancos are in need of a goal.
