Modric And Vazquez To Start | 4-2-3-1 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Barcelona | OneFootball

Real Madrid will entertain Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Sunday as they look to secure a good result in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to earn a win on penalties away at Manchester City recently which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.

Carlo Ancelotti will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to name a strong first XI for this game. Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez will get a chance to play from the start of this Clasico.

4-2-3-1 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Barcelona

Defence

Andriy Lunin will feature in between the sticks for Los Blancos after his penalty shootout heroics in midweek. Nacho will play alongside Antonio Rudiger at the centre of Real Madrid’s backline as they try to keep things solid at the back during the game.

Lucas Vazquez will fill in as the right-back while Ferland Mendy hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get a chance to get forward and join in on the attack when they can.

Eder Militao will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Toni Kroos will play alongside Eduardo Camavinga at the centre of the park as they try to dictate the tempo of the game and create some inviting chances in the final third. The talented trio of Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric and Federico Valverde will function just ahead of them as part of Ancelotti’s attack. All three of them need to move the ball well if they want to secure a convincing win in this Clasico.

Attack

Rodrygo will lead the line for the Madrid giants in the final third. He would be eager to get his name on the scoresheet after doing so against Man City at the Etihad Stadium earlier this week.

Vinicius Jr. is unlikely to recover in time for this game due to a groin injury.
