Real Madrid Vs Sevilla: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Sevilla at home in the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium in the La Liga match day 35. The last Real Madrid game was against Chelsea which was a Poor display in the mid field, it was a poor loss.

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

Currently Real are a recovering side, with several players joining back after injury but they need to win at any cost to have any chance of winning the league. 

Earlier the away game was a 0-1 Win. And last season this fixture was a 2-1 win.

Looking at the

Injury list:
  1. Carvajal
  2. Lucas Vazquez
  3. Varane
Suspended:
  1. None

Just recovered:

  1. Ramos
  2. Mendy
  3. Valverde
  4. Kroos
  5. Hazard
  6. Modric

Practiced:

The rest of the players are available for selection. 

Skipped Practice:
  • None
Coach Comments:
  • Zidane: "You have to be proud of the players. We have lacked to be more forceful above. In football, when you have chances, you have to put it in. Ramos and Mendy were ready to play that's why I put them on." 
Other Comments:
  • Casemiro: "There is no excuse or going back, they have been better. Now we have to think about Sevilla and LaLiga."
Squad Updates:



This will be the Forty ninth game of the season and Real have been inconsistent in the matches and the results, they have had 28 wins, 11 Draws and 9 losses. In the last few games the performance has been poor especially in attack and mid-field and with this ailing team it is not making it any easier.

Sevilla are a very 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 pretty well but has not received the same from the team and with so many changes due to injury it is getting tough.

Mendy should start on the left . As Ramos is now available he and Militao will start. Varane and Carvajal are out injured. So, Odriozola should start. Mendy, Ramos, Militao and Odriozola should start. Marcelo, Nacho and Miguel should be available as substitutes.

Modric and Kroos have been off pace and looked slow in the last game but they have been exceptional before that, both might start. So, Modric and Kroos should start along with Casemiro. Isco, Arribas, Valverde and Blanco should be available on the bench.

The forwards have been poor all season except last game, Hazard is back but should not start and Vinicius should start on the left and Asensio will start on the right. And Benzema should start upfront.  Mariano, Rodrygo and Hazard should start from the Bench.

As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more changes in the second half if the score is conducive especially taking into account the team's fatigue.

The probable substitutions will be: 

Vinicius > Hazard
Modric > Valverde
Mendy > Marcelo
Kroos >  Blanco
Benzema/Asensio > Rodrygo
Ramos > Nacho

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:

Mendy OUT <> Marcelo IN
Ramos OUT <> Nacho IN

With equal points as Barcelona  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again.

With Varane back playing regularly we will have him in the starting 11 and as Marcelo has a muscular injury he should miss and Mendy having not played against Valencia should start.  So Mendy, Ramos, Va...

Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Real Sociedad at home, currently they are at 5th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. With equal points with Barcelona  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio James Lucas Vazquez Nacho Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Bale Marcelo Practiced:  Nacho is practicing alone. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: Marcelo has recovered in time and might start. There is too much controversy involving Bale, and ZZ would like to calm things down and might start Bale ahead of Rodrygo, given Rodrygo has joined the team late. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all the teams neck to neck. With Marcelo practicing more than Mendy he should start. So Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with...

The Starting 11: Best team for the first quarter Real Madrid

Real Madrid have completed 9 matches in the La liga, which is approximately 25% of the campaign. And they have played 3 matches in Champion's league which has a maximum of 13 matches to win it. Effectively 25% of the season is over. The standings are as follows, 2nd in the league behind Barcelona, having played most of the top teams except Barcelona. If they continue the same momentum they have a good chance in the league, and just to point they have done so with several injuries. Real has lost just one match but overall performance needs improvement So the future seems bright, the team needs more consistency in defence and goal keeping. In the champion's league they are second behind PSG, who have a 100% win record. One desperate win, one tough draw and a bad loss, the shape of the team is not great. They will qualify it seems but given the easy group, things are not smooth for sure. But going ahead their solid performance is what is required. In the competitio...

Real Madrid Vs Real Betis: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Real Betis at home, currently they are at 16th on the leader-board, where as Real is 2nd with a game in hand. They would like to continue the momentum they had picked mid-week against Leganes. They have had a very bad start but have won the last league match to boost their confidence. Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio Nacho Bale Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Lucas Vazquez Mendy Practiced: All except the injured lot and James, who went to Colombia due to birth of his baby. Skipped Practice: James Coach Comments: Zidane :   "I don't have a 'Plan A' or a 'Plan B'," he said when asked about his starting XI. "Every three days I have to leave out quality players. I count on everyone. "It's something that bothers me a lot. I try to choose my best players, but I c...

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...
