The Merengues would bring Vinícius Jr. into the XI
Real Madrid are hopeful the Brazilian attacker will be cleared to start after he logged minutes in the midweek win over Las Palmas. There is also concern about David Alaba, who exited the previous match with an injury doubt, leaving Rudiger to step in as part of Carlo Ancelotti’s defensive quartet if needed. The call to maintain a strong back line is clear as Madrid chase top spot on the road ahead of a busy schedule.
The Blanc-i-Vermells appear ready to field a familiar XI
Girona climbed to the summit after a 2-1 victory against Villarreal in matchday seven, a historic moment for the club that could be extended with a confident performance. Míchel is expected to rely on his premium starting eleven, aiming to extend their lead and demonstrate consistency at home.
