Alcoyano Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Alcoyano away from home in the Copa Del Rey round of 32. The last Real Madrid game was against Athletic Bilbao which was very bad result after abysmal display in all departments but there were several opportunities wasted by the forwards and defensive errors costed us the game.

The team rating for the match against Athletic can be found here: Team Rating

This is a knock out game and Real need to win this at any cost. The tie is one legged and the format has changed since last year.

Looking at the

Injury list:
  1. Rodrygo
  2. Carvajal
  3. Varane
Suspended:
  1. None

Just recovered:

  1. Ramos
Practiced:

The rest of the players are available for selection. 

Skipped Practice:
  • None
Coach Comments:
  • We're doing the right things and we have to keep it up.
Other Comments:
  • Nacho did really well filling in for Ramos.
Squad Updates:



This will be the Twenty sixth game of the season and Real have been too inconsistent in their performances, they have 14 wins, 5 Draws and 6 losses. In the last few matches the performance has dropped significantly, efficiency in front of goal needs to improve a lot, defensive errors and midfield chance creation has also taken its toll.  

Alcoyano has had a great run of form, and have defeated Huesca in their last knock out game. So, Real will need to be very careful to score goals and not concede. 

In the goal Lunin will start, he has not played a single minute.

Marcelo should start on the left. Militao and Nacho will start as the center backs. But as Carvajal is recovering from injury Odriozola will start on the right. So Marcelo, Militao, Nacho and Odriozola should start. Defense has been leaking goals and too many errors have led to goals in all the games where we have conceded. 

We should see refreshed mid field after so many games, with Ødegaard, Valverde and Isco in the starting eleven. And Modric, Kroos and Casemiro should start from the bench. 

The forwards have been poor, they have been wasting several chances in front of the goal. With Jovic gone, Mariano, Vinicius and Hazard may start. Benzema, Asensio and Lucas Vazquez will start from the Bench.

As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half especially taking into consideration the team's fitness.

The probable substitutions will be: 

Hazard > Asensio
Ødegaard > Kroos 
Isco > Modric
Odriozola > Carvajal (if he is available)
Vinicius > Lucas Vazquez

So the formation would be 4 2 1 3.

The most probable kit to be used for the game will be the home kit!!!



So the final starting 11 will be:
