Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Valencia - La Liga | OneFootball

Real Madrid are hoping to get back to winning ways in La Liga on Thursday nigth when Valencia make the trip across to the capital.

Los Blancos were held to a goal-less draw by Real Sociedad at the weekend, a disappointing result in what was been a rollercoaster few weeks since the World Cup break.

Here's a look at the starting XI that Carlo Ancelotti could pick for this one.

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Valencia

GK: Thibaut Courtois - Three La Liga clean sheets out of four since the World Cup

RB: Nacho - Dani Carvajal remains a doubt, stretching Real's defensive resources.

CB: Eder Militao - Usually starts when fit and there is no reason why he won't here.

CB: Antonio Rudiger - Has retained the faith of the boss this season and this is set to be a fifth consecutive start in La Liga.

LB: Eduardo Camavinga - Injury to Ferland Mendy resulted in the young Frenchman fillling in here to plug the gaps at the back against Real Sociedad and he will get that nod again.

CM: Luka Modric - Rested from the start at the weekend and set to return now.

CM: Toni Kroos - Set for a 27th appearance in all competitions this season.

CM: Dani Ceballos - Injury to Aurelien Tchouameni continues to provide an opportunity.

RW: Federico Valverde - After successive La Liga games in midfield, could push further forward.

ST: Karim Benzema - Drew a blank last time out but the goals have generally flowed since recovering from the injury that wrecked his World Cup dreams.
