Real Madrid will clash heads with Celta Vigo at the Estadio de Balaídos on Sunday night as they hope to secure all three points on the road. Los Blancos suffered a humiliating 4-0 loss at the hands of Barcelona before the international break. Hence, they will be keen on bouncing back versus Celta Vigo this weekend.
Carlo Ancelotti will opt for a 4-3-3 formation and could make a few changes to his first XI for this game. Karim Benzema will once again lead the line for the Madrid outfit in the final third.
4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Celta Vigo
Defence
Thibaut Courtois will function in goal for Real Madrid after he allowed four goals in his last league outing. Eder Militao will play alongside David Alaba at the heart of Ancelotti’s defence as they focus on earning a clean sheet away from home this weekend.
Dani Carvajal could get a chance to impress as the right-back while Nacho fills in on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves in the opposition half.

Midfield
Los Blancos could go with a midfield comprised of Federico Valverde, Casemiro and Luka Modric as they hope to dominate the battle at the centre of the park and create some decent goal-scoring chances in the final third.
Toni Kroos is a major doubt for this game as he continues to recover from an illness. However, Eduardo Camavinga will be named on the bench as he offers cover for the central midfield positions.
Attack
Vinicius Jr. will try to put in a productive showing down the left flank while Rodrygo looks to impress from the right.
As mentioned earlier, Karim Benzema will lead the charge for Los Blancos down the middle. The French superstar will be Ancelotti’s most potent weapon up top after he missed the Clasico before the international break.
Mariano Diaz will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to feature in the final quarter of the match if needed. However, Eden Hazard, Isco and Luka Jovic will be sidelined for this game because of injuries.
