Militao, Vazquez and Rodrygo To Start | 4-4-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Celta Vigo

Real Madrid will lock horns with Celta Vigo at the Estadio Abanca Balaídos on Saturday night as they try to secure a win on their travels in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to earn a solid 2-0 win over Villarreal recently which should keep them in good spirits going into this game this weekend.

Carlo Ancelotti will set his players up in a 4-4-2 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first XI for this clash. Eder Militao, Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo could get a chance to impress from the start of this game.

4-4-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Celta Vigo

Defence

Andriy Lunin would operate in goal for the Madrid giants after keeping a clean sheet in his last league outing. Eder Militao will function alongside Antonio Rudiger at the heart of Ancelotti’s defence as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.

Lucas Vazquez will hope to give a good account of himself as the right-back while Ferland Mendy looks to put in a good display on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.

Fran Garcia will provide cover for the left-back position on the bench.

Midfield

Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde will operate as the holding midfielders as they look to put in a good performance collectively at the centre of the park. Rodrygo will probably get the nod to operate as the right-sided wide player while Jude Bellingham hopes to impress as the left-winger.

Dani Ceballos is currently sidelined because of an ankle injury. However, Luka Modric should be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if needed.

Attack

Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe will lead the charge for Los Blancos up top. Both of them need to combine well in the opposition half if they want to do enough damage for Real Madrid to win this contest.

Arda Guler and Endrick will have to be content with a place on the bench as they await their chance to make an impact in the latter stages if required.
