Real Madrid is one point behind leaders Girona and has a game in hand over them. They will do everything they can to win the league title this season. They will keep going after Las Palmas tomorrow in the Canary Islands, where they will fight.
Since the beginning of the season, Madrid has only lost one league game and has given up the fewest goals, 13. But Las Palmas, who are in eighth place, are not an easy team to beat.
With 17 goals given up, they have the second-best defense record in the league. They also claim to have played some of the best games when Garcia Pimienta was in charge.
Still, Carlo Ancelotti has almost his entire best starting group available tomorrow. The only players who can’t play are David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Thibaut Courtois, who are all out with an ACL injury, and Jude Bellingham, who is banned.
For this game, no young players have been called up, and the strategy will also be slightly different. Because of this, Madrid Universal thinks Ancelotti’s XI will play tomorrow.
Defense: Lunin over Kepa Ancelotti has been unsure all season about which goalie to pick because Courtois is hurt. He did say, though, that Andriy Lunin would be in charge of the posts tomorrow, and he said that he might change things again for the Getafe game.
Even though there was a lot of debate, Daniel Carvajal should be given the job at right back again after his amazing goal against Almeria. At left back, Fran Garcia is likely to get the start instead of Ferland Mendy.
Nacho was taken off after a terrible first half against Almeria, but he will probably get another chance to start tomorrow in central defense. Antonio Rudiger is also likely to keep his spot.
Midfield: Kroos is in charge
Toni Kroos is likely to play in the middle of Ancelotti’s three-man center tomorrow against Las Palmas, who like to play out in front and control the game. Tomorrow, the German’s calmness and ability to break down lines will be very important.
In the same way, Aurlien Tchouameni should be chosen over Eduardo Camavinga because he passes the ball better. The Frenchman played center back in the second half of last weekend’s game. That’s still a chance, but we think he’ll start as the pivot.
Lastly, Federico Valverde is likely to keep his spot in the middle of the field because he has been one of Real Madrid’s most reliable players this season.
Attack: Brahim was switched out Tomorrow, Jude Ancelotti will definitely make some changes to his system. He will play Brahim Diaz in place of Jude Bellingham in the attacking middle hole, supporting Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr., who start as the twin forwards.
However, Diaz is likely to move to the right, while Rodrygo holds down the middle as the false 9. This will also let Vinicius easily get to his best side, the left side, making the formation look like a 4-3-3 when the ball is in their hands.
Vinicius, Rodrygo Diaz Kroos, Tchouameni, Valverde Garcia, Nacho, Rudiger, and Carvajal Lunin are the players who have been named.
Different kinds of
Eduardo Camavinga should be one of the first players Ancelotti talks about tomorrow. He will likely play in the middle of the field. The Frenchman should be able to stay on the team longer, but for now, he has to stay on the bench.
Luka Modric was put on the bench against Almeria but didn’t play. He probably won’t stay on the bench for two games in a row. The same goes for Arda Guler, who is now healthy and ready to go.
Ferland Mendy and Joselu are also likely to show up. Ancelotti praised Joselu at his press conference today, so we can expect them to.
