Real Madrid are set to lock horns with Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final round. The former side registered a 2-0 victory over Girona in their previous game to continue neck-to-neck competition in the domestic league.
The Whites are in a good momentum carrying high confidence and good form. They will surely look to get a comfortable lead in the first fixture to very much seal the final spot. It will allow them to rotate players better in the tight schedule afterwards.
4-2-3-1 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup vs Real Sociedad
Defence
There could be a rotation between the sticks with Andriy Lunin donning the gloves for the Whites in place of Thibaut Courtois. Right-back Lucas Vazquez should continue to provide his services as usual.
David Alaba made a solid return to the XI but Antonio Rudiger is likely to form the heart of the defence alongside Raul Asencio. Fran Garcia might get the nod ahead of Ferland Mendy for the left full-back role.
Midfield
Carlo Ancelotti will have to decide between Dani Ceballos or Eduardo Camavinga for the midfield position. One of the two mentioned above forms the midfield duo with Aurelien Tchouameni.
Attack
Rodrygo continues to operate on the right flank with Vinicius Jr. taking the responsibility of the other wing. However, Jude Bellingham is available for selection in this competition. He should be walking into the XI at the expense of Luka Modric.
In-from Kylian Mbappe leads the attacking line once again and will be motivated to deliver another effective performance.
The Whites are without the services of Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao as both players are sidelined with a long-term injury.
