Real Madrid welcomes Rayo Vallecano to the Santiago Bernabeu as part of the 12th day of La Liga. Second in the standings with 3 points less than leader Girona, the Madrid club must win this evening to regain control of the championship. For its part, Rayo has had a good start to the season and currently occupies 9th place in the ranking. A good result this evening would propel the club coached by Francisco Rodriguez to the doors of European places. A meeting which can be followed live with commentary on the French Football Weekly website.
In terms of team compositions, Carlo Ancelotti opts for a 4-3-1-2. No surprise in the goal where we find Kepa who will play behind a fairly classic defense, Fran Garcia is notably established as left back. In the middle, Camavinga is the starter and it is Kroos who is pushed to the bench, Modric is lined up from the start and captain. Finally, the trio Bellingham-Joselu-Vinicius Junior will be responsible for leading the offensive sector. Among the visitors, a 4-4-2 is set up in which we notably find the former Real Raul de Tomas at the forefront of the attack.
