CD Minera vs Real Madrid Previews, Form and Players to Watch

CD Minera have already beaten a significantly bigger side in the Copa del Rey this season, beating Deportivo Alaves on penalties at home in the second round. In that match Alaves had to come from behind twice to keep the game level.

Real Madrid have kept up their good form as of late and taken pole position in La Liga as a result of Barcelona’s poor run. They last dropped points in the league at the beginning of December and haven’t looked like dropping anymore recently.

CD Minera Preview

CD Minera Predicted Lineup - Francisco Martinez Pujante; Jaunmi Heredero, David Bernal, Juan Manuel Romero, Jose Garcia; Pipo, Cristhian Britos, Damian Petcoff, Domingo Beltran; Francisco Ferron, Omar Perdomo

It’s hard to say who CD Minera’s most important player is, as there aren’t many records of their matches outside of those in the Copa del Rey. In their game against Alaves, full back Jose Garcia opened the scoring before substitute Sandji Baradji scored in extra-time.

Real Madrid Preview

Real Madrid Predicted Lineup - Fran Gonzalez; Youssef Enriquez, Jesus Vallejo, Jacobo Ramon, Lorenzo Aguado; Dani Ceballos, Chema Andres, Luka Modric; Victor Munoz, Endrick, Daniel Yanez

Like CD Minera, it is difficult to tell who is going to play for Real Madrid, but for a very different reason. CD Minera are not at the same level as Real are, so the Spanish giants are likely to play a lot of young players, while keeping some experience in the side to stop the occasion getting to them.

In this scenario, the likes of Dani Ceballos and Endrick are important to keep the game under control for Real Madrid. Endrick has just 82 minutes in the league this season, so a game like this could end up being vital for his Real Madrid career.
