At 00:30 a.m. Beijing time on April 14, the 31st round of La Liga will stage a battle that attracts attention, and La Liga giants Real Madrid will challenge Mallorca.
This season, although Real Madrid has been plagued by injuries, thanks to coach Carlo Ancelotti's good management, the team still shows super dominance on all fronts. Especially in La Liga, after the first 30 rounds, they have 23 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 75 points, 8 points ahead of the second place Barcelona, leading the La Liga standings.
Opponents Mallorca have been a relegation team in La Liga, and the overall strength is average, after the first 30 rounds, they have only won six games, and are currently in 15th place in La Liga. In terms of overall strength, Real Madrid has a crushing situation against Mallorca, and judging from the past meeting records of the two teams, Real Madrid has 8 wins and 2 losses in the last 10 meetings with Mallorca, which is also an advantage. Therefore, as long as Real Madrid plays at a normal level in this game, winning Mallorca should be a sure win. Here's a quick prediction of Real Madrid's likely starting line-up for this game.
In the goalkeeper position, it is natural that Lunin is still guarding the Real Madrid goal, and at the back, it is not surprising that An Shuai will continue to sacrifice his usual back four formation, and the four defenders who are likely to start are Ferran Mendy, Rudiger, Militão and Carvajal. Militão and Toni Rudiger will form a two-man centre-back pairing, while Ferran Mendy and Carvajal will play at wing-back. Will Brazilian defender Militão be able to return at full strength?
In terms of midfield, there is no doubt that the main midfielder responsible for interceptions and tackles in Real Madrid's midfield will still be the German veteran Toni Kroos, and the French demon Camavinga should be partnered with Toni Kroos to form a double midfield combination.
In front of the two midfielders, it should be the decorated captain Luka Modric who will be the attacking commander and lead the team's attack, while the two wingers who will form the flanks next to him should be Brahim Dias and Rodrygo. England midfielders Bellingham and Tchouameni are likely to be rotated and substituted.
In the forward line, it is not surprising that Vinicius the Pooh will be the first to charge forward for Real Madrid, responsible for destroying the city. Therefore, the final 11 expected Real Madrid to start this game against Mallorca are: Lunin, Ferran Mendy, Rudiger, Militão, Carvajal, Toni Kroos, Camavinga, Brahim Dias, Luka Modric, Rodrygo, Vinicius
