Real Madrid Vs Real Betis: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Reat Betis at home in the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium in the La Liga match day 32. The last Real Madrid game was against Cadiz which was a good display even when a lot of starters missed the game, it was a good win.

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

Currently Real are a recovering side, with several regulars out and some returning but they need to win at any cost to be alive in the title race. 

Earlier the away game was a 2-3 win for Real. 

Looking at the

Coach Comments:
  • Zidane: “I’m very happy for the players. It’s not easy, playing away from home, we had to get all three points today which is exactly what we did. We played a convincing match today, in every sense.” 
Other Comments:
  • Marcelo: "I could talk about Benzema all day. We are here to take advantage of his skill. We don’t give up. We are going to continue and fight until the end."
  • Odriozola: The truth it’s a fantastic feeling, we have come to win, things have turned out well, with a clean sheet. We are Real Madrid, we must continue like this. It’s one of the first header goals of my career, very happy, it has been a difficult season, four injuries.
Squad Updates:



This will be the Forty fifth game of the season and Real have been fairly inconsistent in the matches and the results, they have had 27 wins, 9 Draws and 8 losses. In the last few games the performance has been poor especially in attack except the last game and with this ailing team it is not making it any easier.

Betis are a good side and are good in attack, so Real will need to be careful and be ready for their counters.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form. He has supported the defense very well but has not received the same from the team and with so many changes owing to injury forced rotations it is understood.

Marcelo should start on the left in absence of Mendy, as there is no other option. As Ramos is out injured, Nacho should start along with Militao and Varane. Carvajal is now back and will play as a substitute. So Marcelo, Varane, Militao, Nacho and Odriozola should start. Carvajal, Miguel and Chust should be available as substitutes.

Modric and Kroos have been injured but have been exceptional and should return. So, Kroos and Modric should start. So Casemiro, Modric and Kroos should be back. Isco, Arribas and Blanco should start from the bench.

The forwards have been poor all season except last game, Hazard is possibly back but might not start and Vinicius should start on the left, being good in the last three games. And Benzema should start upfront.  Asensio, Rodrygo and Hazard 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 fatigue and injuries.

The probable substitutions will be: 

Vinicius > Hazard
Modric > Isco
Marcelo > Asensio
Kroos > Blanco
Benzema > Rodrygo

So the formation would be 3 5 2 and change to 4 3 3 later with substitutes.

The most probable kit to be used for the game will be the home kit!!!



So the final starting 11 will be:

Kroos OUT <> Blanco IN

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...
