Real Madrid will welcome Monaco at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Tuesday night as they look to secure a good result at home in the UEFA Champions League. Los Blancos managed to secure a solid 2-0 win over Levante recently, so they would be eager to keep their good form going in midweek.
Alvaro Arbeloa will opt for the 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a couple of changes to his first-team for this game. Fran Garcia and Arda Guler could both get a chance to impress from the start of this clash.
4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Monaco
Defence
Thibaut Courtois will feature in between the sticks for Los Blancos after he kept a clean sheet in his last appearance. Raul Asencio will operate alongside Dean Huijsen at the centre of the Real Madrid backline as they look to keep things solid at the back throughout the 90 minutes.
Federico Valverde will fill in as the right-back, while Fran Garcia hopes to give a good account of himself on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
David Alaba will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni will make up Arbeloa’s midfield. All three of them need to move the ball well if they want to create enough clear-cut chances for Los Blancos to win this contest.
Dani Ceballos will have to be content with a place on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Vinicius Junior will try to prove his worth on the left flank, while Arda Guler hopes to make a difference from the right flank. Both of them will try to get in behind the opponent’s backline whenever they can.
Kylian Mbappe will spearhead Real Madrid’s attack up top. He has to figure out a way to be a real threat in and around the Monaco penalty area.
Gonzalo Garcia will be named on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if Los Blancos are in need of a goal by then.
