The merengue team will play this Wednesday an early match of LaLiga matchday 21, visiting San Mamés, given that both clubs have cup commitments on the original date.
Real Madrid will have to face the clash without the injured Andriy Lunin, Marcelo Vieira, Daniel Carvajal, Luka Modric, Francisco “Isco” Alarcón, Marco Asensio, Rodrygo Goes, Gareth Bale and Mariano Díaz. In addition, Carlo Ancelotti will not be able to count on the suspended Carlos Casemiro, who received the fifth yellow in the last match. With these losses, we believe that the Italian will opt for the next eleven in a 1-4-3-3:
The Belgian goalkeeper has played every possible minute so far this year, leaving the goal empty 11 times out of 24 possible and conceding only 18 goals.
The French left-back has 13 starts in 14 games since recovering from his muscle injury in October. He has taken over the left flank of the defense and has the confidence of the coach.
The Austrian central defender has only missed one match and due to muscle discomfort so far this year. He has been a starter in the 23 where he has been available, so the trend is clear.
The Brazilian defender has also rested a game throughout the season, in his case due to a technical decision during the visit to Granada. He has started in the 23 games where Carlo Ancelotti has counted on him.
The right winger is familiar with defensive demarcation to the point of having occupied it in more games (11) than his natural position (5) this season. With the absence of Daniel Carvajal, it is most likely that we will see him on the right-hand flank of the defense.
Carlos Casemiro’s dismissal due to suspension will force him to improvise in the pivot position, where we believe that the option of seeing the German in a more positional role than usual is the most viable. Since he got over his pubic injury, he has started 15 of 16 games.
The French midfielder has missed the last two LaLiga games and has only five starts in his 16 appearances this season. The losses in the medullary should stimulate their presence in San Mamés.
The Uruguayan midfielder has started 11 of the 18 games he has played, losing weight after his injury. He started from the beginning in the last and the losses in the spinal cord make him aim to do it again.
The Brazilian left winger has participated in every game of the season, starting 22 out of 24. His weight on the left-handed side and in offensive production, with 12 goals and nine assists, is unquestionable.
The French forward has missed two games throughout the course and has started in the 22 he has played. With 18 points and eight assists, he is the biggest producer on the offensive side, in addition to showing the hierarchy on the pitch wearing the armband.
The Belgian left winger has started six of the 13 games played this season. We have seen him twice on the far right, a demarcation he occupied in the last match and where he could repeat.
