Team News
Real Madrid
- Madrid will once again be without Dani Ceballos and Gareth Bale through injury. Karim Benzema has also been ruled out with a hamstring problem he picked up against Real Sociedad.
- Lucas Vazquez, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Luka Jovic and Marco Asensio could all come into the side with Dani Carvajal and Casemiro potentially along those to be rested ahead of the Madrid derby.
Inter Milan
- Joaquin Correa, Aleksandar Kolarov, Andrea Ranocchia, Matteo Darmian, and Stefan de Vrij will miss the contest.
- Potentially, Inzaghi is expected to resist the temptation to make wholesale changes from Saturday. Moreover, there will likely be two or three alterations. Arturo Vidal and Lautaro Martinez might come into the side.
- Alexis Sanchez will hope to secure some minutes in the final third of the field while Stefano Sensi could take Marcelo Brozovic’s space in the middle of the park.
Prediction
Real Madrid has a huge league game against Atletico Madrid next weekend. Therefore, it would not be a surprise to see Ancelotti make changes to his starting side against Milan. However, one point is enough for Madrid to secure the first spot in the section. Also, we can see a low-scoring draw in this match. Ancelotti will make changes from the side that started against Real Sociedad. The Lost Blancos however should be strong enough to hold the Italian champions to a draw in the Spanish capital.
Our Prediction is Real Madrid 1-1 Inter Milan.

Real Madrid; Courtois, Vazquez, Militao, Alaba, Mendy, Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos, Vinicious, Jovic, Asensio.
