Real Madrid will clash with Cadiz on Sunday night as they look to carry on the momentum from their last La Liga fixture. The Spanish giants come into the match on the back of a dominant 6-0 win over Levante in the midweek.
Carlo Ancelotti will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and could make a couple of tweaks as he looks to rest some of his main first-team stars ahead of the UEFA Champions League final at the end of the season. Rodrygo will feature at the front and Jesus Vallejo looks to start again at the backline.
Defence
Thibaut Courtois could operate in between the sticks for the hosts hoping to get a clean sheet and give yet another strong performance.
Nacho Fernandez could partner with Vallejo at the heart of Madrid’s defence hoping to stop the opposition forwards in their tracks.

Lucas Vazquez could get a chance to impress at right-back while Ferland Mendy looks to better the opposition while acting as the left-back.
Eder Militao will be rested on the bench as he offers cover for the defensive line.
Midfield
Ancelotti’s midfield could be comprised of Luka Modric, who remains a regular starter aven at this age, Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde. Camavinga has produced a decent performance in the recent games and will hope to create chances for the front three.
Toni Kroos and Casemiro will be seen on the bench but might come on to influence the game in the second half if required.
Attack
Vinicius Junior has been in great form producing a hattrick in the previous clash and he will look to feature on the left-wing. Rodrygo will take on the right-wing and would look to create some decent chances for Luka Jovic who will feature at the centre forward position. The striker will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net.
Karim Benzema might get his well-deserved rest ahead of the UCL clash at the end of the season.
