Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Real Sociedad at home in the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium in the Match day 25. The last Real Madrid game was against Atalanta which was a boring play at the beginning but was a hard fought win. Without many key players it was a difficult win.

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

Right now Real are a depleted side but need to win at any cost so that they are in the title race as the gap is huge considering rivals have a match in hand. 

Earlier the away game was a 0-0 draw. Last season the fixture was a 3-1 win for Madrid.

Looking at the

Injury list:
  1. Rodrygo
  2. Carvajal
  3. Valverde
  4. Ramos
  5. Hazard
  6. Odriozola
  7. Benzema
Suspended:
  1. None

Just recovered:

  1. Marcelo
  2. Militao

Practiced:

The rest of the players are available for selection. 

Skipped Practice:
  • None
Coach Comments:
  • Zidane: "It cost us to score a goal, but in the end it is a good result. It's an important goal. We did not have a great game, but the important thing is the result."
Other Comments:
  • Nacho: “We're putting in good performances and we have to recognize that." 
Squad Updates:



This will be the Thirty fourth game of the season and Real have been really inconsistent in their games and results, they have had 20 wins, 5 Draws and 8 losses. In the last several games the performance has dipped and with this ailing squad things are getting complicated as injuries keep piling up.

Real Sociedad is a very attacking team but are a bit shaky in the defence, but Real will need to be careful in all departments.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form. He has supported the defense pretty well but has not received the same treatment from the team and more so with so many injuries in the defense.

Mendy should start on the left. As Ramos is out after surgery and Militao is just back. Nacho should get the nod ahead of all and Varane will start as the center backs. Carvajal is out again so Lucas Vazquez should fill in. So Mendy, Nacho, Varane and Lucas Vazquez should start.

Modric has been great and with Kroos playing well both should start. So, Kroos, Casemiro and Modric should start. Isco, Arribas and Blanco should start from the bench. 

The forwards have been poor all season, they have been spurning chances in front of the goal. With some improvements in the last games the forwards will try for some continuity but with injuries its complicated. Hazard is out and Vinicius should start on the left. Asensio should start on the Right and with Benzema out and Mariano out of favor Isco should start upfront as false 9. 

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

The probable substitutions will be: 

Asensio > Mariano
Modric > Blanco
Isco > Hugo Duro
Vinicius > Arribas
Mendy > Marcelo

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:

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...
