Leganes Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11







The upcoming match is against Leganes away from home in the La liga match day 38. Leganes are 18th on the leader-board and Real are the CHAMPIONS of La Liga 2020 and have an unassailable 7 points lead over Barcelona on the league table. This game is very important for Leganes and Real needs to prove their dominance now. Madrid can relax a bit but can get Benzema to Pichichi with 3 goals.

Real Madrid had won 5-0 at home in the first leg.

Looking at the 

Injury list:
  1. Marcelo
  2. Reiner Jesus
Suspended:
  1. None
Just recovered:
  1. Hazard
  2. Nacho
Practiced:

The rest of the players are available for selection.

Squad Updates:




This match is dead rubber for Real Madrid now. But they will try to score as many as possible to show their supremacy.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form and needs to keep the same going.

Marcelo misses out due to injury. So Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Mendy would start on the left and Carvajal on the right. So Mendy, Varane, Ramos and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in fine form but there were few errors in the last few games. So, the defence will have to be very careful.

All the mid-fielders are available now but James might opt out to play like last few games. Modric was really good in the last game but may be rested. So it is going to be Kroos, Casemiro and Valverde in the middle. Modric and Isco will be on the bench and will come handy in the second half. 

The forwards have been in good shape but still did not convert more chances. Hazard started the last game, he was not great but was starting to look good. Vinicius got his short break and should start on the left and Asensio on the right as Rodrygo started the other night. So Vinicius, Benzema and Asensio should start, and Jovic, Bale, Hazard, Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo should be on the bench.

As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half.

The probable substitutions will be: 

Asensio Rodrygo/Lucas Vazquez
Vinicius > Hazard
Valverde > Modric
Kroos > Isco
Benzema > Bale/Jovic

So the formation would be 4 3 3.

So the final starting 11 will be:

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Celta Vigo at home in the La liga match day 24.  Celta are 17th on the leader-board and Real are top of the league. This is a chance for Real to extend the lead and as the gap at the top is very narrow,  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time. Looking at the  Injury list: Asensio Mariano James Only Asensio is injured. And he has not been practicing with the team. He has started individual workouts now. We hope his recovery is faster and soon he starts playing with the team. Suspended : None, Mendy has 4 yellows and has a risk of suspension.

Real Madrid Vs Real Betis: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Reat Betis at home in the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium in the La Liga match day 32.  The last Real Madrid game was against Cadiz which was a good display even when a lot of starters missed the game, it was a good win. The team rating for the match against  Cadiz  can be found here:  Team Rating Currently Real are a recovering side, with several regulars out and some returning but they need to win at any cost to be alive in the title race.  Earlier the away game was a 2-3 win for Real.  Looking at the Injury list: Ramos Valverde Mendy Lucas Vazquez Suspended : None Just recovered: Carvajal Kroos Hazard Modric Practiced: The rest of the players are available for selection.  Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Zidane: “I’m very happy for the players.

Real Betis Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

Before going into the next match I will rate the performance of players in the last game vs Barcelona in the El Clasico. Benzema: 5/10, Poor game that has very less involvement, only misses and bad finishes, final third game play was better than previous game but still not up to the mark. Vinicius: 9/10, Became the youngest to score in the El Clasico, had several good plays. The early yellow could have made him a little cautious but played his heart out and recovered 3-4 balls for the team. Isco: 8.5/10, Good game and a few good runs, a great shot at goal which was stopped by the keeper. He was good in distribution as well, could have taken a few more chances but was a bit of communication problem with Marcelo. Kroos: 8/10, Seemed the one to orchestrate the game. Great assist in the first goal and maintained composure throughout the game, even under pressure, coordinated well with attack and defence really well.  Casemiro: 8.5/10, What a game! With an assist or goal he would...

RCD Mallorca Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Mallorca and away from home, currently they are 18th on the leader-board in the league and Madrid are at the top. They have won 2 matches in the league and one of them is the last match. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio Lucas Vazquez Modric Bale Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Isco Nacho Marcelo Courtois Kroos Raphael Varane Valverde Mend Practiced: All except the injured lot. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Zidane :  Zidane: "Modric, Bale, Kroos and Lucas are not available." As Mendy, Nacho and Marcelo are all recovered from injury the left back position is going to be a puzzle.  Varane has recovered from injury but might get rested for champions league game mid week. Ramos has also rested with Spain so should start. And Carvajal might get some rest after playing with Spain, and looking at the...
