Real Sociedad Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11


The upcoming match is against Real Sociedad away from home in the La liga match day 2. Real Sociedad are 6th on the leader-board after one game and Real are yet to start their campaign. The first Real Madrid match of La Liga 2020-21 against Getafe was postponned. 

This game might see Ødegaard, who was the star for Real Sociedad last seasion start against them.

This being the first game for Real Madrid, they will go cautious. 

Looking at the 

Injury list:
  1. Mariano
  2. Asensio
  3. Hazard
  4. Isco
Suspended:
  1. None
Just recovered:
  1. Jovic
Practiced:

The rest of the players are available for selection. 

Skipped Practice:
  • None
Coach Comments:
  • . To be decided
Other Comments:
  • James, Bale are not with Real Madrid anymore.
  • Courtois will wear no 1, Asensio will get the jersey no 11 and Vinicius will wear the no 20 this season. 
Squad Updates:



This being the first game of the season and with few injuries in place the best options are as follows.

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

Marcelo  and Mendy are both available , but Mendy might get the nod ahead this time. 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 was solid last season but there were few errors in the last few games. So, the defence will have to be very careful.

Modric was really good in the last few games and is more likely to start. So it is going to be Kroos, Casemiro and Modric in the middle. Ødegaard and Valverde will be on the bench and will come handy in the second half. 

The forwards have several injuries. Vinicius is the only option on the left in Hazard's absence. Benzema will be the main striker. Rodrygo will start on the right. So Vinicius, Benzema and Rodrygo should start, and Jovic, 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: 

Rodrygo Lucas Vazquez
Mendy > Marcelo
Modric > Ødegaard 
Kroos > Valverde
Benzema > Jovic/Mayoral

So the formation would be 4 3 3.


The third kit will be used in the first game!!!





So the final starting 11 will be:
