Real Madrid Predicted Lineup vs. Sevilla for Matchday 15 of La Liga

CM Toni Kroos

Just as Dani Carvajal has been class since returning from injury, Toni Kroos has reached his peak since returning from pubalgia. After a great performance in a blowout win over Shakhtar Donetsk, Kroos has been money since then.

Even when Real Madrid do not play well, such as against Osasuna, “Toni Crocs” is a standout. He controlled the pitch expertly at mid-week against Sheriff, and he will be vital to victory vs. Sevilla. The midfield trio of Joan Jordan, Ivan Rakitic, and Fernando is honestly one of Europe’s toughest. But Kroos will be up to the task, especially in this Man of the Match-winning form.

DM Casemiro

Defensive midfielder Casemiro received a lot of criticism when the season started. He looked worn-out and made poor decisions on the ball. When Kroos returned from injury, Casemiro’s form picked up, and he’s been at his best in recent weeks. The 29-year-old was massive against Sheriff, winning six tackles and completing about 97 percent of his passes. He will need to avoid making any mistakes against Sevilla and give Carvajal and the center backs help as-needed. Rafa Mir and Ocampos are real threats, as Real Madrid are undoubtedly aware.

CM Luka Modric

The unselfish and enduring Luka Modric was quietly brilliant again in Real Madrid’s last win. Modric has the important role of carrying the ball down the right-hand side and combining with the right back and right winger, linking play so that the player on the right wing can take up central areas. It is possible Modric could be rested for a returning Fede Valverde, but Modric is one of those players who is very hard to drop. Against the underrated Jordan and countryman Rakitic, Modric’s control may be necessary to the full three points.
