Los Blancos managed to earn a hard-fought 2-1 win over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League recently, which should give them a ton of confidence going into this clash. Jose Mourinho will set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first team for this game. Bernardo Silva and Arda Guler could both play from the start of this game. 4-2-3-1 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Rayo Vallecano Defence Thibaut Courtois will feature in between the sticks for the Madrid giants after conceding two goals in his last outing. Ibrahima Konate will operate alongside Dean Huijsen at the heart of the Real Madrid backline as they look to keep a good shape when defending inside their half. Denzel Dumfries will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Marc Cucurella hopes to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves in the final third. Antonio Rudiger and Alvaro Carreras will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

The talented trio of Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Arda Guler will play just ahead of them as part of the Real Madrid attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Madrid giants are to secure a victory this weekend. Aurelien Tchouameni and Yan Diomande will have to settle for a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed. Kylian Mbappe will spearhead Real Madrid’s attack up top. He would fancy his chances of finding the back of the net after doing so against Inter Milan earlier this week. Carlos Espi will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if required.
