Real Madrid will welcome Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Friday night as they look to secure a good result at home in La Liga. Los Blancos suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Bayern Munich recently, so they would be keen on bouncing back by putting in a good showing this weekend.<\/p>\n

Alvaro Arbeloa will set his men up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first XI for this game. Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal and Fran Garcia could all play from the start of this clash.<\/p>\n

Defence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Andriy Lunin will feature in goal for Los Blancos after conceding two goals in his last appearance. Eder Militao will function alongside Dean Huijsen at the centre of the Real Madrid backline as they focus on keeping the opposition at bay throughout the 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

Dani Carvajal will try to put in a good performance as the right-back, while Fran Garcia looks to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the Girona half.<\/p>\n

Alvaro Carreras and Antonio Rudiger will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.<\/p>\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde will make up Real Madrid<\/a>\u2018s midfield. Their main job would be to dictate the tempo of the game at the centre of the park and engineer some inviting chances in the final third.<\/p>\n

Thiago Pitarch Pinar and Jude Bellingham will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.<\/p>\n

Attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Vinicius Junior will try to put his pace to good use on the left flank, while Arda Guler looks to prove his worth on the other side as the right-sided wide player.<\/p>\n

Kylian Mbappe will lead the charge for the Madrid giants up top. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third.<\/p>\n

Gonzalo Garcia will be available for selection on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if required.<\/p>\n
