Fran Garcia And Camavinga To Start | 4-4-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Barcelona

Trent Alexander-Arnold will get the opportunity to impress as the right-back, while Fran Garcia looks to put in a solid performance on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to perform their defensive duties well before trying to support their teammates in the final third.

David Alaba will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham will operate as Arbeloa’s central midfielders. Their main job would be to make life tough for the home side in the middle of the park and engineer some decent chances in the final third.

Thiago Pitarch Pinar could fill in as the left-sided wide player, while Brahim Diaz looks to put his pace to good use on the right flank. Both of them will get the license to get in behind the Barca backline at every chance they can get.

Cesar Palacios and Franco Mastantuono will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Vinicius Jr. and Gonzalo Garcia will spearhead Real Madrid’s attack up top. Both of them need to link up well in and around the opponent’s penalty area if they want to get their names on the scoresheet this weekend.
