Referee Michael Oliver (England)
Goal Scorer:
SC Braga
The home team does not really have much to worry about in terms of injuries and suspensions. Apart from Victor Gomez, everyone else is expected to be available.
Rodrigo Zalazar and Al-Musrati will form the double pivot in the centre of the park. The duo will look to support their defence and form a wall in front of the back line. They will also look to intercept balls and initiate counter-attacks.
Ricardo Horta will feature as the attacking midfielder. He will have the support of Alvaro Djalo and Bruma who will feature on wide on the flanks. Meanwhile, Simon Banza will lead the line for SC Braga vs Real Madrid.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Matheus; Mendes, Saatci, Niakate, Borja; Zalazar, Al-Musrati; Djalo, Horta, Bruma; Banza
Real Madrid
The visitors will be without the services of Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, Dani Ceballos and Arda Guler. While Guler has returned from injury, Real Madrid are in no hurry to hand his debut and have not included him in their squad for this away trip.
Carlo Ancelotti will stick to the 4-4-2 formation with a diamond in the centre of the park. Kepa Arrizabalaga will take charge in goal. Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy are expected to continue as the full-backs. Meanwhile, in the heart of the defence, David Alaba will pair up with Antonio Rudiger.
Aurelien Tchouameni will take care of the defensive side of things. Eduardo Camavinga will return to the starting XI with Toni Kroos dropping to the bench. Luka Modric could start ahead of Federico Valverde on the right side of the midfield.
Jude Bellingham who has already scored ten goals in the season will continue as the attacking midfielder behind the Brazilian duo of Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior.
Probable Lineup (4-4-2): Kepa; Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius
Prediction:SC Braga 0-3 Real Madrid
