Squad Updates:
This will be the Thirty sixth game of the season and Real have been really poor in their games and results, they have had 20 wins, 7 Draws and 8 losses. In the last several games the performance has become poor especially in attack and with this ailing squad things are getting complicated as injuries are reoccurring.
Elche is a descent side and are strong in the defense, so Real will need to be careful in all 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 out after surgery and Militao is 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. Marcelo and Militao should be available as substitutes.
Modric has been slow for last 5 games but control the game well on most occasions and with Kroos playing well both should start. So, Kroos, Casemiro and Modric should start. Isco, Arribas, Valverde and Blanco should start from the bench.
The forwards have been poor all season, they have been wasting too many chances in front of the goal. Hazard is out and Vinicius should start on the left. With Rodrygo playing well, he should get his chance ahead of Asensio. 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
Benzema > Hugo Duro
Rodrygo > Hazard
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:
