How Real Madrid could line up against Rayo Vallecano

Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in this weekend's La Liga clash with Rayo Vallecano.

Real Madrid will be looking to return to winning ways when they travel to Rayo Vallecano in La Liga this weekend.

While Los Blancos do not have an awful lot to play for at this stage of the campaign, the same cannot be said for Rayo, who are in desperate need of a win to give themselves a chance of escaping the bottom three.

Madrid's goalless draw at Getafe on Thursday night left them six points off second-placed Atletico Madrid in the table, meaning that they will probably have to settle for third this term.

The European champions have won 20 of their 34 matches this season but have also lost nine times, which is not good enough for a team of their ilk.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at how Rayo could line up on Sunday night.


Out: Sergio Ramos (hamstring), Alvaro Odriozola (collarbone)
Doubtful: Vinicius Junior (leg)

Sergio Ramos and Alvaro Odriozola remain on the sidelines for Madrid, but Vinicius Junior is entering the latter stages of his recovery from a leg injury and the Brazilian could make the squad this weekend.

Head coach Zinedine Zidane is expected to shuffle his pack following the clash with Getafe, meaning that the likes of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Marcelo, Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez could return to the XI.

There could also be a first appearance under Zidane for Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who made the bench against El Geta following a spell on the sidelines.

Brahim Diaz was Madrid's best player on Thursday night, but the same cannot be said for Gareth Bale, who struggled once again and is widely expected to drop to the bench.

Karim Benzema has scored 30 times in all competitions this season and will lead the line once again.
