Deportivo Alaves
While Nahuel Tenaglia is back after serving a suspension last time out, Jon Guridi, Antonio Sivera, and Tomas Conechny all picked up a milestone yellow in their last outing. With no fresh injury concerns, Alaves are expected to field a similar XI to the one that started against Girona, with only two enforced changes.
Alaves will line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, where Jesus Owono could start in goal with Sivera unavailable. The back four should be made up of Santiago Mourino, Abdel Abqar, Moussa Diarra and Manu Sanchez.
They will look to keep things tight at the back and will receive significant support from Joan Jordan and former Real Madrid sensation Antonio Blanco, who will form the double pivot in midfield. They will look to ensure that the away side’s midfielders do not dominate the proceedings.
Carlos Vicente and Carlos Martin will feature on the flanks, providing much-needed width to their attacks. Carles Alena will take up the number ten role for this fixture. Meanwhile, the in-form Kike Garcia will continue to lead the line for Alaves against Real Madrid this weekend.
Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti could make quite a few changes to the starting eleven that started in their last outing. While Andriy Lunin, Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos should be back in the squad, they might not be risked from the start. Meanwhile, Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao remain on the sidelines.
David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger displayed some discomfort after the game against Arsenal. As a result, they might be rested alongside Federico Valverde, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.
Ancelotti could go ahead with the 4-2-3-1 formation, where Thibaut Courtois will be in goal. Lucas Vazquez and Fran Garcia should be the full-backs, while Raul Asencio could partner Aurelien Tchouameni in central defence.
In the centre of the park, Eduardo Camavinga could partner with Luka Modric. They will shield the backline and look to control the tempo of the game. Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo could feature on the flanks, with Arda Guler taking up the number ten role. Finally, Endrick could lead the line for Real Madrid against Deportivo Alaves on Sunday.
Alaves possible starting lineup:
Owono; Mourino, Abqar, Diarra, Sanchez; Jordan, Blanco; Vicente, Alena, Martin; Kike Garcia
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Vazquez, Asencio, Tchouameni, F Garcia; Camavinga, Modric; Rodrygo, Guler, Brahim; Endrick
