Real Madrid Predicted Lineup vs. Stuttgart – Champions League

Team News

After two back-to-back defeats, Real Madrid will be seeking to return to winning ways when they host Stuttgart in the Champions League on Tuesday. Carlo Ancelotti is likely to make several changes to his starting eleven, with Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and David Alaba all set to be rested.

Eder Militao, Nacho and Dani Carvajal could all come into the side, while Federico Valverde is likely to start in midfield. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo will be looking to continue their good form, while Karim Benzema will be hoping to add to his tally of 12 goals in the Champions League this season.

Stuttgart, meanwhile, will be without the suspended Borna Sosa and the injured Silas Katompa Mvumpa. Gonzalo Castro and Atakan Karazor are also doubts, so Pellegrino Matarazzo could be forced to make several changes to his team.

Predicted Lineups

**Real Madrid:** Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Nacho, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Ceballos; Rodrygo, Benzema (c), Vinicius Jr. **Stuttgart:** Muller; Anton, Mavropanos, Ito, Stenzel; Endo (c), Mangala; Fuhrich, Thommy, Marmoush; Guirassy

Key Battle

The key battle in this match could be between Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior and Stuttgart’s Konstantinos Mavropanos. Vinicius has been in excellent form this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 7 assists in all competitions. However, he will face a tough test against Mavropanos, who is one of the most promising young defenders in Europe.

Prediction

Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeats and should have too much quality for Stuttgart. The Spanish giants are likely to win this match comfortably and move a step closer to qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
