Because the Barcelona match against Osasuna is being postponed, Real Madrid has the opportunity to go on points with their bitter rivals in the La Liga table when they beat Rayo Vallecano on Sunday afternoon.
Real Madrid wants to return to winning ways in La Liga after the disappointing defeat of last weekend against Real Betis. However, Carlo Ancelotti will also have one eye on the Champions League round on Wednesday of 16 seconds against Atletico Madrid in the Metropolitano, so it will not be a full side that appears in the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, it is still expected to be strong. According to Marca, there will be a return to the line-up for Jude Bellingham, who missed the last two LA Liga matches, as well as the midweek victory in Atleti in the Champions League, due to suspension. He is expected to replace Brahim Diaz, which means that he would join colleague -attacking superstars Rodrygo Goes, Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe.
Luka Modric returns to midfield instead of Eduardo Camavinga, while in defense reminds itself of Fran Garcia, Lucas Vazquez and David Alaba, with Federico Valverde, who is available according to Ancelotti, Ferland Mendy and Antonio Rudiger who fall on the couch.
Rayo Vallecano has had a difficult series lately, with defeats for Barcelona and Villarreal and a draw against Seville previous time -out. They hope to bounce back in this Madrid derby, and they have caused Real Madrid problems for the past 18 months. However, they will be without various important players, including Abdul Mumin, Isi Palazon and Jorge de Frutos. Veter's defender Aridane will start, just like Oscar Trejo.
Real Madrid will be desperate to return to winning ways in La Liga, and they are big favorites to get back on the right track. However, Rayo will certainly make things difficult, so there should be no room for complacency.
