This Tuesday night, Real Madrid will host Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in an attempt to win all three points away from home in La Liga. Recently, Los Blancos defeated Alaves 1-0, which should instill a great deal of confidence in them for this match.

In preparation for this match, Carlo Ancelotti will line up his team in a 4-3-1-2 configuration and is anticipated to make one alteration to his starting lineup. From the outset of this competition, Aurelien Tchouameni may have the opportunity to play.

Kepa Arrizabalaga, who had a clean sheet in his most recent league game, will start in goal for Los Blancos. In an attempt to maintain stability at the back throughout the match, Aurelien Tchouameni might play alongside Antonio Rudiger as a substitute center-back.

While Fran Garcia tries to make an impression as the left-back on the other side, Lucas Vazquez will go in as the right-back. They will both be granted permission to move ahead and express themselves in the opposing team’s half.

Due to an injury, David Alaba will be missing this game.

Midfield

Real Madrid’s midfield will consist of Federico Valverde, Toni Kroos, and Luka Modric as they aim to win the 50-50 matches in the middle of the pitch. Jude Bellingham, an offensive midfielder, will start as number 10. For Los Blancos in the latter third, he would have to shoulder the most of the creative burden.

Dani Ceballos and Nico Paz will have to settle for a bench seat while they wait for an opportunity to contribute in the second half, should it be necessary.

Assault

For the Madrid team, Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo will be in the front of the attack. If they are to pose a threat to the opposition’s goal for the full ninety minutes, they will need to gel nicely in the final third.

Joselu will start the game on the bench, but if Real Madrid needs a goal at the end, he could come on to have an influence.
