Benzema To Spearhead Ancelotti’s Attack | 4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Osasuna | OneFootball

Real Madrid will entertain Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday night as they focused on securing a win in front of their home fans. Los Blancos managed to earn a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid before the international break. Hence, they will be eager to keep their good form going in La Liga.

Carlo Ancelotti will opt for a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name a strong first XI for this game. Karim Benzema should be ready in time to lead the line for the Madrid giants on the attacking end of the pitch.

4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Osasuna

Defence

Thibaut Courtois will play in goal for Los Blancos after conceding one goal in his last league outing. Antonio Rudiger could get a chance to impress alongside Eder Militao at the centre of Real Madrid’s backline as they look to keep a solid defensive shape inside their half.

Dani Carvajal will get the nod to function at right-back while Ferland Mendy hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Ancelotti will give both of them the freedom to get forward and express themselves in the final third.

David Alaba is a minor doubt for this game, so Ancelotti might choose to play it safe and start him on the bench.

Midfield

Luka Modric is sidelined for this game after picking up a hip injury while on international duty. Hence, we can expect to see Toni Kroos, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga make up Ancelotti’s midfield this weekend.

Kroos and Camavinga will be responsible for getting forward and engineering some meaningful openings for their teammates inside the Osasuna penalty box.

Dani Ceballos will have to be content with a place on the bench but could come on to influence the game in the second half if needed.

Attack

Vinicius Junior will try to put his pace to good use on the left flank. Federico Valverde will be expected to produce another energetic shift on the right wing.

Karim Benzema has made a speedy recovery from his injury recently, so he will probably get the opportunity to spearhead Real Madrid’s attack in the final third.

Rodrygo and Mariano Diaz will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact as the late-game substitutes if Ancelotti opts to call upon their services. However, Eden Hazard is a slight concern for this game due to a knock.
