Huesca Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Huesca away from home in the Estadio El Alcoraz in the La Liga match day 22. The last Real Madrid game was against Levante which was a Shameful result after bad play and poor referring decisions.

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

These matches which should be easy have been tough for Real, now that Atletico are 10 points ahead and Barcelona ahead as well its a no brainer that Real cannot falter again.

We have already won at home against Huesca this season 4-1.

Squad Updates:

This will be the Twenty nineth game of the season and Real have been really inconsistent in their performances, they have had 15 wins, 5 Draws and 8 losses. In the last few matches the performance has dipped to the lowest of the season.

Huesca had also been inconsistent but have won their last game away.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a decent form. He has supported the defense really well but has not got the return favor from the team.

Mendy should start on the left. Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Carvajal should be fit by this week's game he should start on the right. So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal should start. With the amount of errors leading to goal and penalty conceded real is really weak in this department.

Modric and Kroos have been fine, Casemiro has not been great but without any depth he is the only option. So, Kroos, Casemiro and Modric should start. Isco, Valverde and few youth squad members should start from the bench.

The forwards have been poor all season, they have been spurning several chances in front of the goal. With some improvements in the last game the forwards will look for continuity. Hazard should start on the left, though he has some discomfort and did not train in the first session. Asensio should start on the Right and Benzema upfront. So, Vinicius, Lucas Vazquez and Mariano should 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:

Asensio > Lucas Vazquez

Modric > Blanco/Arribas

Kroos > Isco

Benzema > Mariano

Hazard > Vinicius

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:

Vinicius IN <> Hazard OUT

Nacho IN <> Ramos OUT

Odriozola IN <> Carvajal OUT

With Varane back playing regularly we will have him in the starting 11 and as Marcelo has a muscular injury he should miss and Mendy having not played against Valencia should start.

Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Real Sociedad at home, currently they are at 5th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. With equal points with Barcelona Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the Injury list : Asensio James Lucas Vazquez Nacho Suspended : 1. None Just recovered: Bale Marcelo Practiced: Nacho is practicing alone. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: Marcelo has recovered in time and might start. There is too much controversy involving Bale, and ZZ would like to calm things down and might start Bale ahead of Rodrygo, given Rodrygo has joined the team late. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all the teams neck to neck. With Marcelo practicing more than Mendy he should start. So Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with...

The Starting 11: Best team for the first quarter Real Madrid

Real Madrid have completed 9 matches in the La liga, which is approximately 25% of the campaign. And they have played 3 matches in Champion's league which has a maximum of 13 matches to win it. Effectively 25% of the season is over. The standings are as follows, 2nd in the league behind Barcelona, having played most of the top teams except Barcelona. If they continue the same momentum they have a good chance in the league, and just to point they have done so with several injuries. Real has lost just one match but overall performance needs improvement So the future seems bright, the team needs more consistency in defence and goal keeping. In the champion's league they are second behind PSG, who have a 100% win record. One desperate win, one tough draw and a bad loss, the shape of the team is not great. They will qualify it seems but given the easy group, things are not smooth for sure. But going ahead their solid performance is what is required. In the competitio...

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 : Asensio Nacho Bale Suspended : 1. None Just recovered: Lucas Vazquez 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 c...

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...
