Squad Updates:
This will be the fourteenth game of the season and Real have been inconsistent in their performances in the last few games but now all departments are showing signs of improvement. Madrid would want to win this at any cost.
Alaves has a good attack but they too have been inconsistent. But Real will need to be solid in the defence.
In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in fine form but has conceded several goals in the last few games and several penalties have also been conceded.
Mendy has to start on the left. Nacho and Varane will start as the center backs. And Carvajal will start on the right. So Mendy, Nacho, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in shambles for some time but last couple of games they have been better. Hoping that this will continue to improve further.
Modric has been exceptional but might need some rest and should be favorite to start from the bench. Mid field has been better in the last few games even without Valverde and Casemiro. Real is getting the control back in the midfield and hope this progression continues. Ødegaard, Casemiro, Kroos should start. Modric and Isco will start from the bench.
The forwards have been very inconsistent, a lot of it is due to the injuries and discontinuity. Benzema should recover by the game time and should start from the bench. Hazard should start on the left, Mariano upfront and Rodrygo on the right. Lucas Vazquez, Vinicius, Benzema and Asensio should start on the bench providing some different flavor in the second half .
As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half.
The probable substitutions will be:
Hazard > Vinicius
Ødegaard > Modric
Kroos > Isco
Mendy > Marcelo
Rodrygo > Asensio
Mariano > Benzema
So the formation would be 4 3 3.
The most probable kit to be used for the game will be the home kit !!!
So the final starting 11 will be:
