Brahim, Fran to start: Real Madrid predicted lineup against Sevilla | OneFootball

The last match of 2024 for both sides as Real Madrid host Sevilla in match day 18.

Vinícius is suspended for this fixture but Real Madrid are a side who possess the ability to topple any other team in Europe.

Here is how the Merengues can lineup against Sevilla.

GK: Thibaut Courtois

Would be delighted having kept a clean sheet in the last match after putting in a rock solid performance. Has to be at his best tonight yet again.

RB: Lucas Vazquez

Was decent against Pachuca but he would be expecting a tough challenge in the face of Belgium national, Dodi Lukebakio, who is Sevilla’s leading goal scorer this season. The Belgian can play on both wings but with a favourable match up, expect him to challenge Vazquez.

CB: Aurelien Tchouaméni

The Frenchman is picking up momentum hence it’s expected that Carlo Ancelotti will start him tonight as well. Did well earlier this week and will surely be up for another challenge against Sevilla.

CB: Antonio Rüdiger

The pillar in defence will start without a doubt and will have to deal with a Sevilla attack which can surprise their opponents at any moment. After this match, the German will receive a well deserved vacation.

Has really made the position his this season. Is expected to start in favour of Ferland Mendy who has been named in the squad. The Spaniard would look to end the year on a high.

CM: Fede Valverde

Another day, another start for the Uruguayan – in other news, the sky is blue. A vital part of this side and his gameplay gives Vazquez and the other two midfielders to play with some freedom.

CM: Eduardo Camavinga

Looked surprisingly quiet against Pachuca and he would be eager to put that game behind him. Expect the Frenchman to be replaced by Dani Ceballos in the second half

CM: Jude Bellingham

The Englishman will look to extend his tally to scoring in 7 league games so far and to end a successful year both on a personal and team level. Bernabeu faithful would hope to watch Jude’s signature celebration tonight.

Took the Pachuca defenders by surprise, which shows that he can offer some versatility to the side. Although the Moroccan has looked more effective as a substitute this season, he would look to prove debunk that misconception and show everyone what he is capable of doing.

It will certainly be more of a false nine position for him since he will be switching places with Rodrygo throughout the night. Was the Man of the Match against Pachuca and will be eager to put on a similar or perhaps even a better performance.

It’s a delight to finally watch him find his footing after injury. Has scored abolition bangers this season and the Real Madrid fans would want to see him smash the net yet again.
