How Real Madrid could line up against Real Betis

How Real Madrid could line up against Real Betis

Real Madrid will be looking to build on last weekend's 2-0 win over Barcelona when they travel to Real Betis in La Liga on Sunday night.

Los Blancos currently lead the way in Spain's top flight with a record of 16 wins, eight draws and two defeats from their 26 matches during the 2019-20 campaign.

Zinedine Zidane's side could be second by the time that they take to the field on Sunday, though, as Barca - just a point behind - will face Real Sociedad on Saturday.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the visitors could line up in Seville.

Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio remain on the sidelines for Madrid, but Zidane's squad is otherwise in good shape at the moment with plenty of options to choose from, particularly in midfield.

Ferland Mendy dropped out of the side for Marcelo against Barca, but it seems likely that the Frenchman will return to the starting XI at left-back for this weekend's contest.

There are not expected to be many other alterations, though, with Isco and Vinicius Junior again being tipped to join Karim Benzema in the final third of the field.

Luka Modric could also again miss out in midfield due to Federico Valverde's form, while Gareth Bale was an unused substitute against Barca and is unlikely to be included in the XI here.

Lucas Vazquez is one of those pushing for a spot in the starting side, although the Spaniard is again expected to be named on the bench against Rubi's team.
