Real Valladolid-Real Madrid, the probable formations

Real Valladolid and Real Madrid will close out the 21st day of La Liga on Saturday. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the José Zorrilla Stadium. The hosts will try to redeem the narrow loss suffered in the previous round against Espanyol, while the Blancos, after their clear success in the Champions League, will seek victory in the league as well, so as to stretch in the standings over Atletico Madrid, which did not go beyond the 1-1 draw with Villarreal.

Cocca is expected to field the offensive trident consisting of Marcos Andre, Amallah and Anuar. In midfield, space for Ndiaye, Perez and Martin. In defense, the central pair will be Bah and Sanchez, with Roa and Perez as full-backs.

Ancelotti, on the other hand, will have to do without the disqualified Vinicius Jr. At the center of the attack, therefore, there will be Mbappé, with Bellingham, Rodrygo and Brahim acting as trequartisti. Protecting Courtois, there will once again be the duo of Rudiger and Asencio, as Alaba does not yet have 90' in his legs.
