It’s a shock from the top of the La Liga table. This Saturday evening, Real Madrid, second with 18 points, welcomes Villarreal, third with 17 points. If they remain undefeated after eight days, the Merengue fell in the Champions League this week on the lawn of LOSC (1-0). For its part, the yellow submarine has only lost one small match at the start of the season, it was against FC Barcelona, the leader. Beyond the ranking of each of the two teams, the meeting is likely to be exciting since Real and Villarreal have the tied second best attack in Spain with 17 pawns each. The match can be followed live with commentary on French Football Weekly from 9 p.m.
Recently touched and not selected by Didier Deschamps for the next meeting of the Blues, Kylian Mbappé, as announced by the Iberian press, is the starter in Carlo Ancelotti’s 4-4-2 diamond. Three other French people start this match with Aurélien Tchouaméni repositioned as central defender, Ferland Mendy on left back and Eduardo Camavinga in midfield. Opposite, Villarreal presents itself in a flat 4-4-2 with Nicolas Pepe and Tierno Barry on the attacking front. Ayoze Pérez, the team’s top scorer with six goals already scored, is still injured and therefore absent.
The official compositions:
Real Madrid : Lunin – Carvajal – Tchouaméni, Rüdiger, F.Mendy – Camavinga, Modric, Valverde – Bellingham – Mbappé, Vinicius Jr
Villarreal: Conde – Femenía, Logan Costa, Albiol, Sergi Cardona – Álex Baena, Parejo, Gueye, Santi Comesaña – Barry, Pepe
