Real Madrid is on a great six-game un๐๐ข๐๐ฑen streak in all tournaments. Today they will play Rayo Vallecano in La Liga. They just ๐๐ข๐๐ฑย RB Leipzig 1-0 away from home in the Champions League, which will boost spirits for sure.
Carlo Ancelotti has made four changes to the starting eleven that played Leipzig in the Vallecano game. The first change is to the a๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ck.
They choose Joselu over Rodrygo to be one of the two players up top, and Vinicius will play with him. There will be Brahim Diaz playing behind them, but this front three could also be a 4-3-3.
Toni Kroos has been rested after starting the last two games in a row. Luka Modric, on the other hand, is finally back in the middle trio and starts his first game since the 0โ2 win against Getafe.
In that role, Federico Valverde will play with him, and Eduardo Camavinga will be in charge as the holding defender.
Since Antonio Rudiger is still out, Aurelien Tchouameni has been given the go-ahead to start as center back again. Nacho will also stay in the middle of the defense.
Ancelotti has chosen to play with two different fullbacks for this game instead of the usual two. These two will protect Andriy Lunin in goal. If Ferland Mendy gets banned, Fran Garcia steps in at left back, and Daniel Carvajal gets a break so that Daniel Carvajal can play.
Confirmed Madrid XI: Lunin; Vazquez, Tchouameni, Nacho, Garcia; Valverde, Camavinga, Modric; Diaz; Joselu, Vinicius
