Karim Benzema gets some rest

On Sunday, Actual Madrid will tackle Espanyol in La Liga.

Actual Madrid have been capable of keep on the prime of La Liga for an additional Gameweek nevertheless it gained’t be getting any simpler from right here with seven extra “Finals” to go. Subsequent up is Espanyol who Los Merengues have been capable of beat 2-0 earlier within the season however have confronted issues when visiting the RCDE Stadium lately.

The opponents haven’t had the best season as far as they discover themselves in final place and struggling to get out of the relegation zone however that implies that we’re getting ready to play towards a squad prepared to battle and do what it takes to return out with one thing on the night time. They have nothing to lose and due to this fact we needs to be ready.

Predicted Lineup:

Goalkeeper – 

Actual Madrid will begin with Thibaut Courtois in purpose. There was some recommendations that this might be a recreation the place we see Alphonse Areola begin however I extremely doubt that Zidane will need to take an pointless threat equivalent to this one. The French goalkeeper hasn’t performed in fairly a while and although it might be good to see him in purpose, this undoubtedly isn’t the time.

Defenders – 

In opposition to Actual Mallorca, he regarded fairly drained however Dani Carvajal is predicted to be beginning as soon as once more just because we don’t have a direct substitute for him. Nacho is your best option however he’s not again from damage but and due to this fact Carvajal might want to do what he can to maintain his performances ongoing.

Within the heart, I’ll return and predict that we’ll see a partnership of Raphael Varane and Eder Militao. The captain must relaxation and as soon as he’s again, the crew may look into giving Varane a time without work afterwards.

As for the left-back slot, the return of Marcelo to the lineup can be seen as Ferland Mendy can be suspended after receiving a yellow card within the match towards Mallorca.

Midfielders – 

The sport towards Espanyol will see the return of Carlos Casemiro to the lineup after he served his suspension whereas the 2 midfielders in entrance of the Brazilian can be Toni Kroos, who was rested within the final recreation however got here on for the final half-hour and Federico Valverde.

Luka Modric won’t be able to take part in this match as well due to suspension after he acquired a yellow card within the final La Liga recreation.

Forwards – 

As at all times, Zidane’s major modifications might include the forwards and I believe we’ll see some surprising modifications right here. The supervisor might determine to relaxation Vinicius after the Brazilian had two brilliant matches whereas Eden Hazard might begin on his favored left-wing once more.

On the best flank, Gareth Bale was picked final time however I predict the return of Rodrygo Goes. For the largest shock, this may occasionally truly be the one time that we will relaxation Karim Benzema and although it’s a dangerous prediction, I’ll go with Mariano Diaz as the starting striker.
