Real Madrid closes their Champions League group phase with a road surface by surprise package Brest. Los Blancos knows that a victory will give them a slim hope for the qualification for the round of 16, and Carlo Ancelotti seems to be starting as a result.
According to AI, Los Blancos has a 2.9% chance of ending in the top eight, for which they need a victory in their last game. Three points must at least secure a strong sow in the play-off round. They are currently 16th with 12 points and have guaranteed a play-off place, but are only one point of the top eight. However, they should improve the results of at least eight teams to protect a bye.
Carlo Ancelotti, however, goes with a strong team. Diario as saying that Ferland Mendy and Lucas Vazquez come in for Brahim Diaz and Fran Garcia, with Aurelien Tchouameni moving to midfield and Raul Asencio back in the central defense. Marca says Brahim will keep his place instead of Tchouameni.
In addition to long -term injuries to Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, Ancelotti Vinicius Junior misses due to an accumulation of three bookings. Eduardo Camavinga must also return from a hamstring problem.
For their part, Brest defenders Julien le Cardinal, Bradley Locko, Jordan Amavi and Massadio Haidara are missing in defense of injury. It means that winger Mathias Pereira Lage is expected to cover on the left if Haidara does not return. Eric Roy will probably go for two Pacy Wingers on both sides of Target Man Lucas Ajorque.
Brest starts the night a point for Los Blancos, after he also protected an extra draw to also go with their four wins. The French side also has a play-off place, but knows that only one point can protect them a strong seed. They have been defeated so far by Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk last week.
