Real Madrid will lock horns with Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena this Saturday night as they look to secure a victory on the road in La Liga. Los Blancos secured a solid 2-0 win over Real Betis before the international break which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.
Carlo Ancelotti will opt for the 4-3-3 formation and could make one tweak to his first XI for this game. Arda Guler will get a chance to impress from the start of this contest.
4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Real Sociedad
Defence
Thibaut Courtois will function in goal for the Madrid giants after he kept a clean sheet in his last league appearance. Eder Militao will continue to operate alongside Antonio Rudiger at the heart of the Real Madrid backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Dani Carvajal will feature as the right-back while Ferland Mendy, who is a slight concern ahead of this game, could play on the other flank as the left-back. Ancelotti would give both of them the license to get forward and express themselves in the opposition half.
Fran Garcia and Lucas Vazquez will offer cover for the full-back positions on the bench.
Midfield
Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni and Arda Guler will make up Ancelotti’s midfield as they try to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park. All three of them will have to figure out a way to offer some decent service to the front players.
Luka Modric will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if asked to do so.
Attack
Vinicius Jr. will hope to catch the eye on the left flank while Rodrygo looks to give a good account of himself on the right wing. Kylian Mbappe will lead the line for the Madrid giants down the middle. The French striker managed to score a brace against Real Betis recently which should give his confidence a massive boost ahead of this game.
Brahim Diaz will be named on the bench as he waits for his chance to shine in the latter stages if required.
