Squad Updates:
This will be the Thirty Eighth game of the season and Real have been really inconsistent in their games and so has been the results, they have had 22 wins, 7 Draws and 8 losses. In the last few games except the last one, the performance has been poor especially in attack and with this always ailing squad it is not making the run easier.
Celta is a great attacking side and are okay in the defense, so Real will need to be careful in both departments and be ready for their counters.
In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form. He has supported the defense really well but has not received the same from the team and more so with so many injuries in the defense.
Mendy should start on the left. As Ramos is back after surgery, he should start. Nacho should get the nod ahead for the right back and Varane will start as a center back. Carvajal is out again so Lucas Vazquez should be seen as an attacking option later in the game if need be. So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Nacho should start. Marcelo, Lucas Vazquez and Militao should be available as substitutes.
Modric has been slow for last 5 games but was always in control and last game was awesome. Same goes with Kroos, who has been exceptional and both should start. So, Kroos, Casemiro and Modric should start. Isco, Valverde and Blanco should start from the bench.
The forwards have been poor all season, they have been wasting so many chances in front of the goal. Hazard is out and Vinicius should start on the left, being good in the last game. With Rodrygo playing well, he should get his chance ahead of Asensio, even though he got a goal. And Benzema should start upfront. There is a high chance that Asensio gets a nod ahead and Vinicius starts as a substitute.
As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half especially taking into consideration the team's fatigue and injuries for the next game's importance.
The probable substitutions will be:
Vinicius > Asensio
Modric > Valverde
Ramos > Militao
Rodrygo > Lucas Vazquez
Kroos > Isco
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:
As Ramos is rested and is not traveling Nacho comes in as Centre Back and Lucas Vazquez comes as right back.
Ramos OUT <> Lucas Vazquez IN
