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.

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.

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

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 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...
