How Real Madrid could line up against CSKA Moscow

Sports Mole takes a look at how Real Madrid could line up in Wednesday's Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow.

Real Madrid will round off their Champions League Group G campaign with a home match against CSKA Moscow on Wednesday night.

The European champions have already secured first position in the section, having won four of their five group matches to date.

Roma have also booked their spot in the next round, leaving CSKA to battle Viktoria Plzen for the Europa League position.

Real Madrid might well have revenge on their minds, having suffered a 1-0 defeat when they travelled to CSKA at the start of October.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at how Los Blancos could line up in front of their own supporters in the European affair.


POSS RM XI vs. CSKA

Out: Nacho (knee), Casemiro (ankle), Toni Kroos (knee)

Head coach Santiago Solari will make changes from the 1-0 win over Huesca in La Liga on Sunday afternoon.

That said, Solari will be mindful that third position is still alive in the group, and will want to be respectful to Viktoria Plzen.

Keylor Navas is expected to replace Thibaut Courtois between the sticks, while Isco, Federico Valverde and Marco Asensio are all expected to come into the XI.

There could also be a spot in the final third for exciting youngster Vinicius Junior, although Karim Benzema is expected to keep his spot at the tip of the attack.

Nacho, Casemiro and Toni Kroos are all still on the sidelines for Real Madrid.
