Predicted Line-Up
Union Berlin possible starting lineup:
Ronnow; Juranovic, Knoche, Leite, Roussillon; Volland, Tousart, Khedira, Laidouni, Gosens; Behrens
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Vazquez, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy; Valverde, Ceballos, Modric; Diaz; Rodrygo, Joselu
In the upcoming match, Union Berlin faces some challenges in their lineup. Danilho Doekhi will be notably absent due to a leg injury, and Sheraldo Becker's availability remains uncertain due to a knock. However, the rest of the Bundesliga side appears to be in good condition, with no major surprises expected in their starting eleven. Kevin Behrens, who has notched four goals this season, is poised to lead the attacking line.
Robin Gosens, the team's current top scorer with five goals, is anticipated to play on the left, while Kevin Volland is likely to operate on the opposite flank.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, revealed a list of absentees, including Dani Carvajal, Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eder Militao, and Thibaut Courtois, all sidelined due to injuries. Manager Ancelotti may opt to rest Bellingham, who is dealing with both shoulder and ankle issues, providing an opportunity for rotation. Nacho, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Dani Ceballos could feature, and Joselu might secure a place in the attacking third following the recent clash with Real Betis.
While David Alaba and Toni Kroos might be considered for a rest, Luka Modric is expected to start, recognizing his significance, especially in light of the team's injured midfielders yet to return. The match presents an opportunity for Ancelotti to strategically rotate his squad and manage the fitness of key players.
