Vinicius Jr. Starts, Mbappe To Lead The Line | 4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Osasuna

Real Madrid will entertain Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Tuesday night as they look to earn a good result in their La Liga season opener. Los Blancos managed to secure a dominant 4-0 win over WSG Tirol recently, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.

Xabi Alonso will opt for the 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name a strong first team for this clash. Kylian Mbappe will once again lead the line for the Madrid giants up top.

4-3-3 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup To Face Osasuna

Defence

Thibaut Coutois will feature in between the sticks for Real Madrid after he kept a clean sheet in his last outing. Dean Huijsen will operate alongside Eder Militao at the heart of Alonso’s defence as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will be named as the right-back while Alvaro Carreras hopes to impress on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves in the Osasuna half.

David Alaba and Fran Garcia will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Alonso could name a midfield three of Dani Ceballos, Aurelien Tchouameni and Arda Guler. The talented trio would have to retain possession well at the centre of the park and engineer some inviting chances for their teammates in the final third.

Eduardo Camavinga is a major doubt for this game.

Attack

Vinicius Jr. will try to impress on the left flank while Brahim Diaz hopes to catch the eye as the right-sided wide player. Both of them would look to get in behind the opponent’s backline at every chance they get.

Kylian Mbappe will spearhead Real Madrid‘s attack in the final third. He would be eager to get his season off to a good start by finding the back of the net versus Osasuna this Tuesday night.

Endrick will be in a race against time to be ready for this game. However, Rodrygo and Gonzalo Garcia will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if Los Blancos are in need of a goal by then.
