Predicted Real Madrid starting eleven vs APOEL
Real Madrid can secure their qualification into the second round of this season's Champions League with a win over Greek Side APOEL on Tuesday.
Madrid were held to a goalless draw by Atletico in the La Liga on Saturday, a result that sees them go ten points behind Barcelona, and ask more questions about their quest to win the domestic title this season.
Keylor Navas is still out and Kiko Casilla will continue in goal.
Carvajal's return comes at a vital time. Sergio Ramos will most likely miss the match after suffering a nose fracture in the 0-0 draw over the weekend. Carvajal should start at right back. The duo of Varane and Nacho should start at centre back. Theo Hernandez is available and will be pushing for a start. Marcelo has started the last few games, and this is a perfect game for Theo. He should start at left back.
The trio of Casemiro, Modric and Kroos started at the on Saturday and weren't too convincing. Against Tottenham two weeks ago, they also struggled to cope with the likes of Winks and Erickson at Wembley.
Ceballos has shown that he has the goals in him. And that is what Modric and Kroos haven't been doing this season. Casemiro should start in the defensive midfield role. Ceballos should come in for Kroos while Modric keeps his place.
Madrid have lacked goals this season, and I expect Zidane to make changes in the attack for this game. Ronaldo and Benzema have been struggling to put the ball in the net. Benzema has been presently absent in key games this season, as the team's top striker hasn't done enough.
I expect Isco to keep his place on the left side of the attack. I will like to see Asensio start this match, after starting the last few matches from the bench. Ronaldo should lead the lines, that may possibly change his fortune in front of goals. He's scored well in the Champions League and will be expected to add to his tally of six goals in the competition.
