Tuesday night, Real Madrid travels to Braga to play Braga in the UEFA Champions League. The team’s goal is to gain as many points as possible from this away game. In this midweek encounter, Los Blancos will be eager to go back to winning ways after recently being held to a 1-1 draw away at Sevilla.

Carlo Ancelotti’s team will line up in a 4-3-1-2 formation once more, but he might choose to change up his starting lineup. This midweek Champions League match is expected to start with Eduardo Camavinga and Nacho on the field.

After scoring one goal in his last league game, Kepa Arrizabalaga will start in goal for Los Blancos. In the middle of Ancelotti’s defense, Nacho will work with Antonio Rudiger to try to silence the Braga attackers during the match.

Eduardo Camavinga will try to make an impression as the left-back, while Dani Carvajal will cover for him as the right-back. Ancelotti will provide them instructions on how to run in the open spaces with adventure.

On the bench, Fran Garcia and Lucas Vazquez will cover for the full-back positions.

Midfield

Los Blancos’ midfield will be anchored by Toni Kroos, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Federico Valverde as they look to take control of the middle of the park.

After failing to score in his previous game, Jude Bellingham will have an opportunity to shine in the tenth spot. He would be excited to score in the middle of the week to help Real Madrid win.

If needed, Luka Modric will have to settle for a spot on the bench while he waits for his opportunity to shine in the second half.

Attack

Ancelotti’s offensive assault up top will be led by Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. If they want to pose a threat to the other goal over the full 90 minutes, they both need to work well together.

Joselu is expected to start the game on the bench, but if Los Blancos need a goal at the end, he might make an impact when he comes on.
