Real Madrid will face off against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Tuesday night as they hope to secure a positive result on the road in the UEFA Champions League. Los Blancos managed to earn an impressive 3-0 win away at Girona recently which should keep them in high spirits ahead of this game.
Carlo Ancelotti will set his side up in a 4-4-2 formation once again and is expected to name a strong first XI for this game. Fran Garcia and Rodrygo could both get a chance to impress from the start of this Champions League clash in Naples.
4-4-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Napoli
Defence
Kepa Arrizabalaga will feature in between the sticks for the Madrid outfit after securing a clean sheet in his last appearance. Antonio Rudiger will function alongside David Alaba at the centre of Real Madrid’s defence as they try to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Dani Carvajal will function as the right-back while Fran Garcia looks to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them would be eager to impress by putting in a solid showing defensively in midweek.
Lucas Vazquez and Ferland Mendy will offer cover for the full-back positions on the bench.
Midfield
Ancelotti could opt for a diamond midfield with Eduardo Camavinga expected to anchor the midfield for Los Blancos while both Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde play as the box-to-box midfielders.
Jude Bellingham will keep his spot in the number ten position after his goal-scoring display versus Girona recently.
Luka Modric and Toni Kroos will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they wait for their opportunity to impress in the second half if needed.
Attack
Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo will lead the charge for the Madrid giants in the final third. Both of them need to combine with each other well so that they can cause some real problems for the Napoli centre-backs this Tuesday night.
Joselu will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages if Ancelotti opts to call upon his services.
