Nacho, Garcia And Arrizabalaga | 4-4-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Alaves | OneFootball

Real Madrid will face off against Alaves at the Mendizorrotza this Thursday night as they hope to secure all three points on the road in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to secure a dominant 4-1 win over Villarreal recently which should give them a ton of confidence ahead of this game.

Carlo Ancelotti will set his team up in a 4-4-2 formation and is expected to name a strong team for this game. Nacho, Fran Garcia and Kepa Arrizabalaga could all get a chance to play from the start of this contest.

4-4-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Alaves

Defence

Kepa Arrizabalaga will feature in between the sticks for Los Blancos as he looks to secure a clean sheet this Friday. Antonio Rudiger will get a chance to impress alongside Nacho at the heart of Ancelotti’s defence as they try to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.

Fran Garcia will get a chance to impress as the left-back while Lucas Vazquez looks to give a good account of himself as the right-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.

Ferland Mendy will offer cover for the left-back position on the bench.

Midfield

Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde will anchor the midfield for the Madrid outfit as they try to dominate possession at the centre of the park. Jude Bellingham will once again hope to make a difference on the left flank while Luka Modric looks to put in a decent performance from the right.

Dani Ceballos will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz will lead the line for Real Madrid on the offensive end of the field. Both of them need to combine well if they want to cause problems for the Alaves defenders during the game.

Joselu will be named on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if Los Blancos are in need of a goal by then.
