Lille
The home team will be without the services of Hakon Arnar Haraldsson, Ismaily, and Samuel Umtiti. Meanwhile, the availability of Nabil Bentaleb is doubtful. Angel Gomes is unavailable following the red card in their previous outing against Sporting CP.
LOSC Lille will line up in a 4-3-3 formation, where Lucas Chevalier will be in goal. Tiago Santos and Gabriel Gudmundsson will feature as the full-backs, while Bafode Diakite will pair up with Alexsandro in the heart of the defence.
Benjamin Andre, Andre Gomes, and Remy Cabella will be the three in the centre of the park. They are all set to have a lot of defensive duties against a star-studded Real Madrid attack. Edon Zhegrova and Osame Sahraoui should feature on the flanks for the home team, with star striker Jonathan David leading the line.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Chevalier; Tiago Santos, Diakite, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson; Andre, Andre Gomes, Cabella; Zhegrova, David, Sahraoui
Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe has been included in Real Madrid’s squad for this fixture against LOSC Lille. However, the Frenchman is unlikely to be risked on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Thibaut Courtois, who recently picked up a knock, has been left out of the travelling squad.
Fran Garcia will also be travelling with the team despite the knock that he picked up in the clash against Atletico Madrid. Brahim Diaz, David Alaba, and Dani Ceballos remain on the sidelines for the visitors.
Carlo Ancelotti might be tempted to stick to the 4-4-2 formation, but there are high chances Los Blancos will revert to the 4-3-3 formation. Andriy Lunin, Real Madrid’s hero from last season, is all set to start in goal. Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy will be the full-backs, while Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger will feature in the heart of the defence.
Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde, and Jude Bellingham should be the three midfielders. They will look to control the tempo and ensure they have more control of the proceedings than they did in their last Champions League outing. Arda Guler should start on the right flank for this fixture, with Rodrygo taking up the number nine role and Vinicius Junior starting on the left.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Lunin; Carvajal, Eder Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Guler, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior
Prediction: LOSC Lille 1-3 Real Madrid
