Real Madrid Vs Real Betis: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Real Betis at home, currently they are at 16th on the leader-board, where as Real is 2nd with a game in hand. They would like to continue the momentum they had picked mid-week against Leganes.

They have had a very bad start but have won the last league match to boost their confidence.

Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again.






First I would like to see the 

Injury list:
  1. Asensio
  2. Nacho
  3. Bale
Suspended:

1.     None 

Just recovered:
  1. Lucas Vazquez
  2. Mendy

Practiced:

All except the injured lot and James, who went to Colombia due to birth of his baby.

Skipped Practice:

James

Coach Comments:
  • Zidane : "I don't have a 'Plan A' or a 'Plan B'," he said when asked about his starting XI.
  • "Every three days I have to leave out quality players. I count on everyone.
  • "It's something that bothers me a lot. I try to choose my best players, but I can change things.
  • "I don't like being told that I have an A, B or C team. It's not true."

Other Comments:
    • No other injury concerns, but with the Champion's league match coming there could be few players rested.
    Squad Updates:


    This is a crucial game to be in the title race, with the defensive lapses of the past, there will be no experiments. No non-sense four, Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will be certain to start again, more so with the great work over the past game.
    In the goal Courtois will start, with clean sheets in the last 2 games things look positive.

    As Modric has just recovered he will be a sub in the midfield, it is going to be Casemiro, Kroos and Valverde. Modric will be given more time to get to the starting 11, may be for Champion's league. Isco will substitute Kroos, like the previous game, if the score is more than 2 goals up by half time, Isco might get the full second half, else the usual 20-25 minutes.

     As Bale is injured and did not practice, Hazard, Benzema and Rodrygo should start. And will have Vinicius and Jovic as substitutes depending on the work rate.


    So the final starting 11 will be:
