REAL MADRID PREDICTED LINEUP VS JUVENTUS

Real Madrid's 2023–24 season starts less than two weeks away. However, Los Blancos still have one more game to play on their US tour.

Madrid's upcoming duel with Juventus, a repeat of the 2017 Champions League final, is their last scheduled friendly before they face Athletic Club on August 12 to kick off their La Liga campaign.

While they were soundly beaten by Barcelona in their previous outing, it's been a positive summer for Carlo Ancelotti's side. This is in the wake of Karim Benzema's exit.

It's been a pre-season for experimenting, and here's the next set-up Ancelotti could opt for against Juventus.

Real Madrid's predicted lineup vs Juventus (4-1-2-1-2)

GK: Thibaut Courtois - The Belgian was introduced late to pre-season, but he started against Barcelona and will likely retain his place in the side.

RB: Dani Carvajal - Carvajal played the full 90 on Saturday, but Ancelotti has few alternatives at right-back.

CB: Eder Militao - The Brazilian has played a prominent role this summer given his importance to Real, and he's poised to continue his run in the side.

CB: Antonio Rudiger - There could be a change here, however, with Rudiger returning to the fold. The German was an unused substitute in Barcelona's defeat.

LB: David Alaba - Alaba has only sporadically been used down the left since joining the club. However, the Austrian could get minutes in his former favorite position on Wednesday, with Fran Garcia likely to earn minutes off the bench.

DM: Toni Kroos - Amid all the shiny and young new arrivals, old-timer Kroos remains an integral figure in Real's midfield.

CM: Federico Valverde - With a couple of veterans potentially coming back into the team, Ancelotti could do with some running power. There isn't a midfielder more indefatigable in Real's squad than Valverde.

CM: Luka Modric - He isn't expected to play a major role for Real Madrid next season. However, the Croatian remains a supreme footballer who will continue to be called upon while he remains in Madrid.

AM: Brahim Diaz - Bellingham has been a fixture in Real's summer contests, and he could rest ahead of the 2023–24 La Liga season. Thus, the door could be open for Brahim Diaz to start with Arda Guler returning to Spain.

ST: Rodrygo - Rodygo enjoyed a coming-of-age campaign last time out, having spent a period stuck in Vinicius Jr.'s shadow. The diminutive Brazilian is a divine dribbler with innate creative instincts. His relationship with his compatriot as split strikers will be intriguing in 2023–24.

ST: Vinicius Jr. - Kylian Mbappe's future will determine how much we see the two Brazilians line up together up top for Real next season. In light of their harmony and contrasting profiles, they are distinct.
