Real Madrid lineup vs. Borussia Dortmund: Predicted XI for Champions League clash

Two changes from Ancelotti? How Real Madrid could line up against Dortmund

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Real Madrid could line up for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti may make a couple of tweaks to his starting XI for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund at the Bernabeu.

Los Blancos fell to a shock 1-0 loss to Lille in their last European affair, but they have responded with back-to-back La Liga wins over Villarreal and Celta Vigo, defeating the latter 2-1 at the weekend.

Dani Carvajal (knee), David Alaba (knee) and Brahim Diaz (abductor) were Real's only absentees for Saturday's triumph, and that should again be the case on Tuesday evening.

Carvajal's lengthy layoff means that Lucas Vazquez will continue to hold the fort at right-back for the time being, but there could be an alteration on the opposite side, where Ferland Mendy is in line to replace Fran Garcia.

Thibaut Courtois, Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao will all reprise their roles at the back, and the same can be said for Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde in the middle of the park.

However, Ancelotti may see fit to swap out Aurelien Tchouameni - who missed some of Monday's training session due to discomfort - for Rodrygo in a slight change of formation, as the latter forms a menacing-looking front three with Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

Mbappe will make his ninth Champions League appearance against Dortmund this week, but the Frenchman has only found the net once in his last six appearances against BVB, drawing blanks in his last three against them.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Bellingham, Camavinga, Valverde; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr
