Tchouameni And Ceballos To Start | 4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Villarreal | OneFootball

Real Madrid will entertain Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Saturday night as they focus on collecting all three points at home in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to earn a dominant 4-0 win over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey recently which will keep them in high spirits ahead of this game.

Carlo Ancelotti will once again opt for a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first XI for this game. Both Aurelien Tchouameni and Dani Ceballos will play from the start of this clash versus the Yellow Submarine.

Defence

Thibaut Courtois will function in between the sticks for Los Blancos after securing a clean sheet in his last outing. David Alaba will resume his defensive partnership with Eder Militao at the heart of the Real Madrid backline as they try to keep things solid at the back during the game.

Dani Carvajal will operate as the right-back while Eduardo Camavinga gets another chance to impress on the other side as the left-back. Both of them would have to maintain a solid defensive shape at the back if they are to secure a clean sheet this weekend.

Nacho and Lucas Vazquez will be named on the bench as they offer cover for the defensive positions.

Midfield

Toni Kroos, Aurelien Tchouameni and Dani Ceballos will make up Real Madrid’s midfield this Saturday. The talented trio would be instructed to move the ball well so that they can fashion some inviting chances in the final third.

Luka Modric could be rested on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if needed.

Attack

Vinicus Junior will try to catch the eye on the left flank while Federico Valverde hopes to give a good account of himself as the right-sided wide player.

Karim Benzema will lead the charge of the Madrid outfit on his own up top. The French talent managed to score a hattrick against Barcelona in midweek, so he will be hungry to score more goals this weekend.
