Real Madrid appears to be heading towards sealing their spot in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey as they face Deportivo Minera from the municipal fourth tier at Estadio Municipal Angel Celdrán on Monday. A club managed by Carlo Ancelotti smashed Valencia, 2-1, in La Liga, with Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham being the attackers of the Madrid team while Vinicius Junior was sent off and thus absent in this encounter. Deportivo Minera shocked Alaves by sending them into penalty shoot-outs to get to this stage, and they have every intention of producing an upset by eliminating the giants. La Liga champions Los Blancos, who have won the most number of titles in this competition, 20 times, and are currently holders of the title, will also want to progress ahead before diving back into La Liga proceedings starting January 19, when they play with possibilities of staging another Copa del Rey match in between.
Dep Minera’s Team News And Expected Line Up Against Real Madrid
Dep Minera counts on exceptional performers like Omar Perdomo, who has scored five out of the total six goals for Deportivo Minera, and Pipo, who has backed Perdomo’s goal performance with four goals and four assists. Hence, both feature prominently in the expected starting lineup. Among the possible menacing combinations to join Perdomo and Pipo in scoring are Francis Ferron and Cristhian Britos.
The Probable Line up is(4-4-3): Martínez; Mas, Monty, Vera, Heredero; Pujante, Petcoff, Britos, Pipo; Perdomo, Ferron.
Real Madrid Team News And Expected Line Up To Face Dep Minera
On the absence list, Vinícius Jr. was presuming suspension following the injuries from Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, and David Alaba; however, the latter appears quite likely to return soon. Carlo Ancelotti is expected to mix and mingle some regular players with fringe players like Andriy Lunin, Raul Asencio, Fran Garcia, Brahim Diaz, Arda Guler, and Endrick with respect to the forthcoming Spanish Supercopa semifinal for balancing the entire squad. Another probable but rare candidate for such a start into the line-up could be Jesús Vallejo, who is not much seen inside Ancelotti’s plans ever.
The Probable Line up(4-2-3-1): Lunin; Vázquez, Asencio, Vallejo, García; Ceballos, Tchouaméni; Brahim, Modrić, Güler; Endrick.
