Derby Day: Predicted Lineups

Eden Hazard is expected to return along with some old faces like Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale to the starting XI for the classic Madrid derby on Saturday night.

Coach Zinedine Zidane brought a whole new attack during Madrid's the 2-0 win over Osasuna on Wednesday, making 8 changes for that game at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Vinicius Junior and the 18-year-old Rodrygo who made a dream start to his senior career with scoring a great beauty on his debut were both on the score sheet for Los Blancos. While the latter will be in action for Madrid's youth side, Castilla, the former will be on the bench for the derby.

Zidane has backed Ex-Chelsea star Hazard to shine in his pre-match press conference on Friday. The Belgian will have another chance to show what he is capable of in this match having already done well in the 1-0 win at Sevilla last weekend.

Here is the predicted lineup for Real Madrid –
