Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano, 2026 La Liga: Predicted lineups

Real Madrid host Rayo Vallecano in what should be a manageable game and a decent opportunity for José Mourinho to make some rotations, as he admitted during the pre-match press conference.

Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois ; Dumfries, Konaté , Huijsen, Cucurella ; Camavinga , Bernardo Silva ; Güler, Bellingham , Vinicius ; Mbappé .

Rayo Vallecano predicted XI: Cárdenas; Ratiu , Lejeune , Ciss, Pedrosa; Valentín, Bouaré; Tsitaishvili , Unai López, Álvaro García ; Camello .

Camavinga, Bernardo Silva and Arda Güler will almost certainly feature in the starting lineup after being suspended for Real Madrid's match against Inter. Valverde could get some rest in this one.

Venue : Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain.
