Cacereno will be content with their form in recent matches. They have managed four victories to go with two draws in their last six fixtures. The club sits at the sixth spot in the league table, eight points off the summit with a game in hand. Cacereno got the better of Girona in the round two of the Copa del Rey to advance to this stage. It will certainly be an uphill task for them trying to match the intensity and level of the biggest club in the world.
Real Madrid restarted their duties with an assuring 2-0 win over Real Valladolid after the World Cup break. Karim Benzema got back on goal scoring duties with a late and a much needed brace. Carlo Ancelotti’s men are involved in a very tight race with Barcelona in La Liga. The Los Blancos face a very congested schedule for the next two months at least. Looking at that, Madrid will feel that a game against a lower opposition in Cacereno will provide them an opportunity to rest key players and indulge in recovery.
Carlo Ancelotti has already confirmed that Karim Benzema, Thibaut Courtois, Dani Carvajal, Toni Kroos, David Alaba and Vinicius Jr. will not travel for the fixture. This should provide players like Eden Hazard, Dani Ceballos, Rodrygo and others with a chance to impress the coach.
Cacereno possible line-up: Moreno, Ramirez, Caparros, Traore, Gomis, Arteaga, Bermudez, Garci, Manchon, Kounni, Grande
Real Madrid possible line-up: Lunin, Lucas Vasquez, Militao, Rudiger, Nacho, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Ceballos, Asensio, Hazard, Rodrygo
